WineScores' Review

Complex. succulent, fresh.
From Stellenbosch's prolific and historic producer Spier, this classic Cabernet is wonderfully succulent. Notes of black currents and warm chocolate, coffee grounds, green olives, paprika and a hint of green tobacco are expressed on the nose. The palate is an echo of that with wild black fruits, brown spices, toasted oak and rich plummy undertones. Paprika and pepper linger on the finish. Notable structure and freshness here; a wine to pair with BBQ, rich stews and soups, hard cheeses, lentil or bean dishes and roasted mushrooms.

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”.
