WineScores' Review

Profound, delicious, superb.

You can expect exceptional wines for this historic estate winery - the wines are elegant but with boatloads of ripe fruit. Knights Valley is more rustic than many nearby regions and has volcanic and alluvial soils, which Beringer winemakers feel produce the unique characteristics desired in this wine; which the Knights Valley exemplifies.
Explosive cassis aromas mingle with plum cake, licorice, baking spices, purple flowers and plush chocolate. The palate echoes the nose; it is succulent and layered with generous purple fruit sarsaparilla, mocha and pipe tobacco flavours. Beautifully woven and profound with balance and a long slick finish.

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”.
