WineScores' Review

The long popular Conundrum White now has a red sibling, which winemaker Charlie Wagner (of Mer Soleil) tells me shares a single grape variety in both blends - the fragrant Moscato.
Although I prefer this white blend a bit drier with a mouthwatering dose of acidity, it continues to give people what they want. Aromas here are candied ginger, white raisins, apricot and peach, Turkish delight, lychee and honeysuckle rounded out with Meyer lemons. The palate is sweet and spicy with an attractive weighted palate. The flavours are an echo of the aromas, the finish is long and fresh.
Perfect for spicier dishes such as Pad Thai, curries, fresh three-alarm salsa and Indian lime pickle.
Second review, January 2014:
Musk melon, caramel, Turkish delight, stone fruits, honeysuckle and exotic citrus aromas lead to a palate that is sweet and spicy. Expect flavours of ginger, white raisins, sweet spices, tropical fruit and honey. Very good concentration and length - a wine to pair with spicy cuisines.

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”.
