WineScores' Review

Charming, juicy, fragrant.
From Stag's Hollow's estate Shuttleworth Vineyard, the Dolcetto grapes were foot stomped, and then sealed up for 5 days of cold maceration. After the cold soak, the bins were pressed directly into a concrete tank (full solids) and inoculated with a selected yeast. Once the primary ferment finished, the wine was racked off of its lees, into stainless steel, where it was stabilized, filtered and finally bottled.
This Dolcetto (an Italian variety that means: little sweet one) is charming but by no means sweet--it's a vibrant ruby red wine that needs food.
Chill and pour to discover notes of sour cherry and ruby red berries, bacon fat, wild herbs, tomato leaf, fine spice and tea. It's a dry wine with notable firmness and snappy tart red fruit flavours layered with spice and tea. Lively and textural.
Youthful and fresh--pair with pizza, fatty fish, pork belly, cheese and charcuterie, Lebanese dishes, beet and goat cheese salad.

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”.
