WineScores' Review

Limited, lengthy, savoury.
This limited edition Merlot (70%) and Cabernet Sauvignon cuvee spent 20 months in French oak (30%) new and weighs in at 14.5% alcohol.
This is the estate's most premium wine and it's showing some of its age. Prune and balsamic, spice and muddled cherries, vegemite, warm carob and red pepper jelly aromas lead to a savoury palate. Generous black and purple fruit linger with spice and earth across a lengthy finish.

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”.
