WineScores' Review

Outstanding, dashing, value.
This Merlot and Cabernet blend comes from the 16th Chateau de Courteillac near the village of Saint Emilion. The chateau has been in the family current Rayne family for four generations.
It offers outstanding value. This vintage is quite dashing; plumcake, wild currents, leather and spice, patchouli and vanilla with grilled red bell peppers and a sprinkling of rose petals. It has and appealing umami character, savoury and a little salty with fine spices, pencil shavings, bay leaf and mocha. Very good balance and structure with a long cocoa finish.
Pair: Roasts, lamb and rustic lentil dishes.

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”.
