WineScores' Review

Fragrant, fresh, delicious.

I've been reviewing this consistently reliable and food-friendly red for nearly a decade and it's always and a pleasure.
Expect cherries in vanilla liqueur and purple flowers, coffee and concord grapes atop licorice aromas. The entry is supple and it delivers charming purple berry flavours along with wild flowers and cocoa. It's a juicy wine, singular and delicious with fine sweet tannins.
Pair with dinners of roasted meats, game, hard cheeses, or veggie burgers, pizza or grilled mushrooms and eggplant.

Pairs great with Gone Crackers Olive Oil & Cracked Pepper

Recommended Pairings
Rich Meats , Barbeque, Cheese - Hard/Aged, Italian Food, GONE CRACKERS

Visit My Sister Site 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.	What is WineScores? 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”.
