WineScores' Review

Savoury, distinct, spicy .
Clos du Soleil's signature Celestiale red, is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Malbec.
It is spicy and sauvage; distinct smoked meat, toasted spice and ground pepper aromas are lifted with plums and blackberries, and vanilla. An intense and umami palate is almost brooding in character, concentrated with a slick glycerol weight it has a long finish trailing brown spices layered with red and black berries.
Decant or hold onto this one for a while longer.
Pair: Hearty pasta dishes, aged cheeses, grilled meats and roasted root vegetables.

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”.
