WineScores' Review

An off-dry blend of 55% Sauvignon Blanc and 45% Semillon, made at Bench 1775 on the Naramata Bench. It was partially aged in new French oak barrels for 12-months and won double gold medals at the Six Nations wine competition in Australia.
It has a luscious honeyed character and is woven with crunchy orchard fruits, spring blossoms, sage and nettle. It is creamy and intense, off-dry and boasts an oily slick texture. Lanolin, beeswax and bright fruit flavours line the palate, it is unique and very tasty.

WineDiva.ca was launched prior to WineScores, in February 2004. WineDiva is the alter ego of Daenna Van Mulligen. She wears a cork tiara and is proof that a girl can have her w(h)ine and drink it too! WineDiva.ca is a tongue-in-cheek approach to a very serious passion for all things wine. WineDiva’s goal is to make wine fun, subtly educational & deviously inspirational. Vintage reciting wine snobs need not apply. WineDiva is painting the wine world pink and drinking it all in, and her glass is always (at least) half-full.

WineScores is the more serious follow up to WineDiva.ca. WineScores was born from the demand to see wine writer Daenna Van Mulligen provide scores on her wine reviews. These are numerical scores based on a 100 point scale – an internationally recognized form of rating wines. These numbers provide a snapshot for consumers on how the wine reviewer views the overall quality of the wine. For more information on scoring wine, go to “about”.
