WineScores' Review

Juicy, sweet, zesty.
This partial saignee (bleeding off juice) rose is made from Merlot, Cab Sauv, Cab Franc and Pinot Noir that received between 0-4 hours of skin contact, it was fermented in stainless steel, partially dry.
It's a watermelon pink with bold splashes of ruby. Expect aromas of strawberry jellies, vanilla, peach stone, maraschino cherry, pink grapefruit and lilacs after a rainfall. It has a slick and juicy entry, the wine has a slight prickle on the tongue and shows loads of sweet red fruit flavours. Harmonious and off-dry it has a zesty finish to help cleanse to palate.

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”.
