WineScores' Review

The Riserva tier is the second highest level of Chianti Classico wines after Gran Selezione. This one, from Carpineto comes from estate Sangiovese and Canaiolo vines; it was aged in casks and barrels for one year, then left to age in bottle for at least ten more months in cellar.
Notes of strawberry and cedar chips are woven with rose petals and vanilla, rosemary, pipe tobacco, star anise and cherries. It has a supple entry and sweet expressive fruit flavours alongside leather dusted with cocoa. Lovely acidity and structure, it has a silky texture and chalky tannins. Lengthy and beautifully woven.

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.
