WineScores' Review

Value, expressive, fragrant.
Pablo is named for the iconic 20th century contemporary artist, Pablo Picasso and the wine is made from fruit grown on gnarled old bush vines planted up to 100 years ago.
Consistently good value, the 2014 is again seductively scented with chocolate, licorice, Bing cherries, raspberries and blueberry tea with rose petals and sweet spices. It is supple on the entry and grows more textural mid-palate. Fresh berry fruit is layered with sarsaparilla, tealeaf and spice, which rolls into cocoa flavours on the finish. Good freshness and overall structure.
Pair with braised meats, red sauces, rustic stews and hard Spanish cheeses.

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”.
