WineScores' Review

Value, peppery, organic.

The vineyard for this wine is planted 1200 meters above sea level in Tupungato Valley and it comes from organically grown grapes. It's been a consistent player in our market for many years and provides solid value. The nose offers peppery notes with black cherries, black currents, vanilla, baking spices, tealeaf and leather. The palate echoes the nose with sweet spices, generous ripe purple berries, and dark chocolate flavours, which roll into silky tannins.
A red to pair with hearty pastas or red meats.
Second Review, November 2017:
Forest berries and toasted spices, quite restrained with plenty of tobacco undertones. Fresh black currents, spicy and succulent with significant maturity for the vintage.

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”.
