WineScores' Review

Fleshy, approachable, piquant.
The Corbeau Wines winery and vineyards are located east of Mendoza city and are owned by the Rodríguez Family, now in their third generation of agriculture and winemaking. They have over 874 acres of vineyards that include Las Bayas, Los Alomos, and Has. Their wines are produced with estate grapes from multiple vineyards with different soils, climates, and varieties. The Mad Bird label pays homage to the mysterious Black Raven, a long recognized companion of mankind, but also a symbol of wit, strength and freedom.
Made entirely from Malbec that was aged in barrel for three months and then in bottle for six before release.
Wild purple berries, charred herbs and green olives, black plum, salted licorice, espresso, toasted spice and black chocolate aromas lead to a supple palate. It's a piquant red with small red berry, coffee, chocolate and leather flavours. Savoury with nice fleshiness.

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”.

We do not share your email address with anyone. Your email address will be used for the WineDiva newsletter You can opt out of receiving the newsletter anytime.
