WineScores' Review

Inky, fresh, savoury.
From vineyards 1800 MASL, this value wine screams premium thanks in part to its hefty bottle and it was aged 12 months in new oak barrels.
Inky purple fruit aromas are woven with charred spices, roasted herbs, salted rare meat, espresso and dark chocolate. It's medium-full bodied with a fresh entry and savoury spiced meat and wild black berry flavours. Definitely a savoury wine, with a smooth and woven character.


Pairs great with Gone Crackers Parmesan & Rosemary

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”.
