WineScores' Review

Fragrant, earthy, plush.
Tasted bottle No.97 of 2,000.
This organic and vegan Zinfandel was harvested from the estate's Coyote Block (planted in 2007-2008) and aged 20 months in French and American oak.
Classic Zin aromas of purple berries and wild cherry, vanilla, licorice, plush chocolate, white pepper and violets lead to a less effusive but earthy palate. Dark cocoa dusted wild fruit, tobacco and spice flavours dominate the palate, the tannins are chalky.

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.
