WineScores' Review

Fresh, supple, approachable.
Made by the family Montes of Chile, Kaiken comes from Mendoza estates located in Agrelo and Vistalba. The wines are hand harvested and small tank fermented with 6 months of French oak ageing.
Smoked meat and dried violets, roasted herbs and pepper spices are elevated by aromas of blackberry, high-toned cherry and licorice. It's a pretty red; fresh, supple and approachable with black and red berry flavors melded with charred cocoa nibs and toasted spice.

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.
