WineScores' Review

Supple, fragrant, fresh.
Made from estate Black Sage bench Shiraz with 3% Viognier blended in, this fragrant and juicy red delivers notes of blackberry and mulberry, violets, baking spices and dark chocolate. Fresh and supple it has salty/umami undertones, black fruit, dark chocolate and peppery spice flavours. A bit hot at 14.4% but it's not distracting. Overall, good structure and balance with a savoury finish.
During physical-distancing due to COVID-19 I shared this with neighbours, who ended up ordering a case.

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.
