WineScores' Review

Engaging, chocolaty, fresh.
This widely recognized ochre labeled Chianti Classico offers evolving and engaging aromatics of dried rose petals, star anise, strawberries and chocolate, sweet spices, vanilla, licorice and espresso. The palate mimics the nose with warm chocolaty flavours layered with tobacco, leather and red fruits. It has dry, powdery tannins and a long fresh finish. Pair: slow roasted meats, tomato based pastas, Italian cheese and salami platters.

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”.
