WineScores' Review

Thoroughbred, complex, age-worthy.
Matured 18 months in 1/3 new French oak barrels, this estate grown Cabernet is as much a thoroughbred as the previous vintage. Black currents, dusty dark cocoa, tealeaf, sage and savoury spice aromas lead to a complex and lengthy palate. Youthful still, but everything is in check and the tannins deserve some time to soften and integrate.
I recommend holding this wine for at least another year. Buy three, put them in the cellar and open one in a year and see save the others for the future.

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.
