WineScores' Review

Restrained, savoury, fresh.
I visited the Zorzal estate a decade ago, when the winery was only partially built in Gualtallary, a remote slice of Tupungato in the Uco Valley. I was wowed by the purity and honesty of the wines.
The soils of Gualtallary are chalky, a characteristic found in the wines.
Expect notes of grilled sausage and black pepper, blackberry and red plums, espresso, brown spices and saddle leather. The palate is equally savoury but notably fresh. Red berry flavours are woven with toasted spice. tobacco, bitter chocolate and coffee. It has a muscular frame and restrained palate.

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”.
