WineScores' Review

Potent, fragrant, persistent.
Part of Mission Hill's single site Terroir Collection, this new single clone (667) Pinot comes from the Simes Vineyard in East Kelowna.
The nose is potent; expect black raspberry and vanilla, bacon fat and oak spice, cedar chips and dried roses atop rainforest floor. The palate follows suit with good power; it doles out ripe berry flavours layered with smoked spices and cocoa. Fresh on the entry it culminates in a peppery and savoury finish.

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”.
