WineScores' Review

Unique, perfumed, expressive.
Portugal's varieties, Touriga Nacional and Tinta Roriz are blended with Syrah to make this unique wine from Lisboa.
Formed by gentle hills, Lisboa wine region extends from the capital of Portugal to the north along the coast in a range not exceeding 40 km in width. The climate is temperate with Atlantic influences, a relatively mild summer; it is cooler and wetter in the areas closer to the sea, warmer and drier inland in areas protected by Montejunto mountain.
A very pretty nose of raspberry and blueberry, baking spices, violets, leather, cedar and tobacco lead to a supple palate with loads of expressive fruit. It has a lively character and sweet summer fruit woven with licorice, cinnamon and clove favours. Concentrated and smooth, it's a delicious wine you need to stock up on.

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”.
