WineScores' Review

Charming, juicy, silky.
Dolcetto, aka little sweet one, is a rare find outside of Piedmont, but is a delightful regular in Moon Curser's portfolio of rarities.
Unencumbered by any oak contact, the 2020 has a lovely grapey colour and notes of violets and blueberries, crushed red cherry and dried rose petals with grounding undertones of Mexican chocolate and earth. Charming and silky it has a bouncy palate of purple berries, sweet cherry and the vaguest note of mint. A friendly wine with a fresh finish that benefits from a slight chill before service.

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”.
