WineScores' Review


Tinhorn Creek's premium Merlot is spicy and substantial with plums and black cherries, sarsaparilla and vanilla, sweet chocolate and spice with meaty undertones. The palate is smoky - plums and black cherry reappear and are layered with leather, bittersweet chocolate, spice and dried herbs. It has a slightly saline character with bright fruit, lovely balance and ripe tannins.
Recommended pairings: roasts, stews, grilled prime beef and Camembert cheese.


 
Recommended Pairings
Rich Meats , Good First Impressions, Cellar Keepers, Cheese - Soft/Creamy

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.
