WineScores' Review

Reborn, complex, outstanding.
The return of Clos Jordanne is a welcome one. Having halted production in 2016 (after nearly a decade), Arterra (formerly Constellation) has relaunched the project with original winemaker, Thomas Bachelder.
The estate's ultra-premium Pinot Noir and Chardonnay program (with Burgundian vines and methods) was heralded as the best of the region, from an equally outstanding site on NIagara's Jordan Bench.
In November the wines returned and this particular wine is outstanding.
Honeysuckle and yellow fruits, candied melon and acacia, tangerine and oak spice aromas lead to a complex but pristine palate. Dulcet fruit with hints of butterscotch, it is plush and spicy creamy and tangy. A delicious wine with a mouthwatering finish.

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”.
