WineScores' Review

Aged, powerful, brooding.
This premium red from Pentage Winery above Skaha Lake near Penticton is a proprietary blend which includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot; all components were aged in oak barrels for 18 months prior to blending.
Always released with age, this typically powerful red doles out black fruits and peppery spices, bacon fat and espresso, dark chocolate and leather with dried cherries at the core. The palate is equally deep and dark with mocha flavours. It has a brooding sort of complexity, smoothed out tannins and a long bittersweet cocoa and dried herbal 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”.
