WineScores' Review

Complex, elegant, outstanding
Domaine Drouhin, a 235-acre estate, was established in 1987 by Burgundy's Maison Joseph Drouhin in the Willamette Valley's Dundee Hills.
Made from hand harvested estate grown Pinot Noir that was aged in French oak, this outsitanding example features aromas of fresh pomegranate, wild cherries, tealeaf and vanilla, fine sweet spice and a fragrant undertone of purple flowers. Silky and fresh as the nose suggests, the palate is complex and woven with a notable muscular frame--wonderful balance here. Lengthy and elegant it's a wine that will show well for 10 years and more.

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”.
