WineScores' Review

Impressive, toasted, muscular.
Part of the Montes portfolio, this Kaiken Ultra is an outstanding Malbec made from grapes harvested from high altitude vineyards in the Uco Valley (Chacayes, Altamira, Gualtallary) and it was aged 12 months in French oak.
Savoury aromas abound; small wild black berries, carob, charred spice and peppercorns, tobacco, leather, dried herbs and a hint of paprika are expressed on the nose. The palate entry is supple; it is a full-bodied red with power and persistence. Muscular but fresh it trails toasted spice and charred cherry flavours.


Pairs Great with Gone Crackers Roasted Shallot & Herb

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”.
