WineScores' Review

Zesty, muscular, earthy.
A blend of Rhone varieties Roussanne (69%) with Marsanne (31%), this southern France blend was lees stirred and aged four months in partially new French oak with lees stirring.
Wild herbs and lemon, smoke. flint, oregano, honeysuckle and vague peachy notes are expressed on the nose. It has a powerful--white that drinks like a red--character and zesty muscular tone. Earthy, savoury, spicy and mineral-driven it also has distinct salty notes and a pomelo and lemongrass finish.
This is a wine that really benefits from opening an hour or more before serving or decanting.

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”.
