WineScores' Review

Mature, savoury, salty
La Riojoana is a co-operative that makes multiple labels available in our market including Raza, and the fair trade Timilmuqui. This colourful wine is made from Malbec and Syrah and is also organic and fair trade.
Because of it's age, I suggest drinking now if you do pick this one up.
Prunes and dried cherries, molasses and leather, pipe tobacco and white pepper aromas are echoed on the palate along with dusty cocoa and salted licorice. I like the complimentary blend here, and would be interested in tasting it when it was young and fresh.

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”.
