WineScores' Review

Savoury, earthy, muscular.
This organic blend of Sangiovese with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot delivers warm cherries, wet leather, bruised rose petals, hay, olive branch, rosemary and oregano aromas. Intense and inky it's a muscular red with chalky (but slightly more textured) tannins. The fruit disappears on the palate leaving toasted spice heavily dusted with dark cocoa and dry earth flavours. Tight and awkward; definitely not on par with the previous vintage (2017) I reviewed last year.

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”.
