WineScores' Review

Plush, chocolaty, smooth.
Plush notes of plums, chocolaty mocha, leather and licorice, with baking spices adorn the nose. The palate is restrained the fruit shy, tannins powdery and flavours are more earth and cocoa. Good acidity.
Pair: Camembert cheese and rich tomato based pastas, roasted meats.

Second review: Nov 2016
This organic Merlot offers substantial aromas of plumcake, baking spiced, mocha and vanilla, toasted oak and wild sage. The palate is more restrained, however, expect tobacco, pencil shavings, toasted spice and bittersweet chocolate. A serious wine with good structure.

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”.
