WineScores' Review


Poplar Grove's second label, Monster Vineyards are wines that are as easy to drink as they are fun.
The Merlot leads with dark chocolate cherries and plumy fruity notes underscored with vanilla, fennel seed and dried herbs, leather weet spice and coffee. It's an affable wine, easy-drinking and approachable with similar black fruit and mocha layered with oak spice and vanilla. There's just enough fine tannin lingering to give it something to sink your teeth into.
Pair it with burgers, pizza, ribs or chili or Camembert cheese.

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”.
