WineScores' Review

Stoneboat, on the Black Sage Gravelbar in Oliver, is owned by Rudy Verhoeff and Kyla Richey, former professional volleyball players. They also own Valley Commons, is a winery established in the District Wine Village in Oliver in 2021.
Both wineries fall under the Verhoeff Group of Companies, which is headed by Paul Verhoeff, Rudy's father. The family also owns a flooring company, a brewery and restaurants in the Fraser Valley.
The Lake's Edge Red is made from Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Petit Verdot and Syrah that was aged in French oak barrels.
It has an overall earthy character with layers of cherry, wild blackberries, leather, cedar, vanilla, baking spices, espresso and dark chocolate. The entry is smooth, it is fresh and medium+ bodied. Expect peppery spice, sarsaparilla and black fruit flavours with a wild herbal notes on the 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”.
