WineScores' Review

Engaging, tasty, generous.,br> Protea is South Africa's national flower, and an abstract screen-printed label of it, along with its glass bottle stopper, makes for a beautiful package on this tasty red.
Engaging aromas of cassis and plums, licorice, chocolate, baking spices, pencil shavings and leather lead to a palate of generous palate with mouth-filling fruit and succulent background flavours.
It's a wine with good bones and freshness offering great value.


Pairs great with Gone Crackers Canadian Chedder & Chive

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”.
