WineScores' Review

Impressive, tasty, fleshy.
Part of the Montes portfolio, this Kaiken Ultra is an outstanding line (there is also a Malbec) made from grapes harvested from high altitude vineyards in the Uco Valley (Chacayes, Altamira, Gualtallary) and it was aged 12 months in French oak.
Black current aromas are layered with leather, tealeaf, vanilla, baking spices and hints of menthol. Overarching high-toned and juicy purple berry flavours meld with spice and tobacco. Balanced and fleshy with a long smooth finish, this us a red for grilling, hearty pastas, veggie burgers or stews, rich bean dishes or roasted mushrooms.


Pairs Great with Gone Crackers Roasted Shallot & Herb
 
 
Recommended Pairings
Rich Meats , Barbeque, Good First Impressions, Cellar Keepers, GONE CRACKERS

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.
