WineScores' Review

New, firm, fragrant.
For the first time in 20 years, Cabernet Franc, a variety CedarCreek has used predominantly as a blender, has it's own label.
Grown in CedarCreek's southern Okanagan vineyard, it is comprised of Cab Franc with 10% Merlot that was aged 12 months in oak barrel.
The nose suggests sweet notes of raspberry and kirsch, red licorice and vanilla, baking spices and dried wild flowers. It's a concentrated model with some notable skin contact. Coffee, dark cocoa,, roasted spice and pipe tobacco flavours dominate. The tannins are firm and hold tight to the palate.
I suggest pairing this with hard cheeses, hearty bean casseroles, or BBQ.

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”.
