WineScores' Review

NEW, restrained, umami.
Chic Fille is the first wine from JoieFarm proprietor and winemaker, Heidi Noble’s side label; the term translates to pretty girl or cool girl.
Made entirely of Pinot Meunier and in a natural method, Chic Fille is the result of practices she's been playing with for a decade: native fermentations, lees contact and semi-carbonic fermentations, for example.
Because of the ongoing success of Noble's JoieFarm rose, it stands to reason her first of this side label also be. Chalky ruby in colour it has a distinct umami character. Here the aromas are red cherries and rhubarb, clay and candied strawberry with undertones of herbs and garden greens. Tart red berries, tealeaf and cedar palate flavours are restrained; the finish is mouthwatering.
Only 50 cases were made.

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”.
