WineScores' Review

Golden, creamy, rich.
The Steller's Jay Mountain Jay Brut is a cuvee of Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, that's always been made in the traditional method. Golden yellow it offers apple sauce and pastries, vanilla cream, small red berries, roasted nuts and molding clay aromas.
Creamy, with fine bubbles and laden with golden fruit and toasted biscuits it it rich and complex with impressive posture for a very reasonable price.
Second review: November 2021
This longstanding traditional method BC sparkler is golden yellow with notes of lemon meringue, apple sauce and hazelnut biscuits. It's an off-dry bubbly with flavours of yellow apple, hazelnut and piecrust, to mimic the nose.
Classic bones, nice freshness and good persistence with a fine bead.

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”.

We do not share your email address with anyone. Your email address will be used for the WineDiva newsletter You can opt out of receiving the newsletter anytime.
