WineScores' Review

Fresh, value, smooth.
A BC Liquor Stores select product, this value Merlot offers spicy blackberry, black plums, dark chocolate, vanilla, braised strawberries, espresso and iodine aromas. The entry is fresh, plummy spice and cocoa flavours dominate the palate and it has a medium-bodied smooth weight.
Second Review: April 2021
Smoked meat and blackberry, toasted spice, dark cocoa, leather, tomato leaf and rooibos tea aromas lead to an earthy palate spicy, savoury and medium-bodied.

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”.
