WineScores' Review

Charming, juicy, fragrant.
Some wines just make you smile more than others, this utterly delightful Dolcetto (Italian meaning: little sweet one) is a charming one that fits the bill.
It was aged a year, partially in larger format oak barrel and the rest in concrete and has 5% Tempranillo blended in.
It is a juicy red I'd be happy to drink any day, especially with a slight chill before serving. It has pretty grapey aromas woven with sweet wild berries, sweet spices, and purple flowers. In the mouth rooibos tea, spice and poppin' high-toned red fruit flavours dominate.
An enchanting red to drink while young and fresh - preferably with pizza.

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”.
