WineScores' Review

Charming, bouncy, jubilant.
This Venetian red is a blend of Merlot and the local Corvina grape. It is a type of appassimento; the result of late harvesting, leaving the grapes to hang on the vine longer. This can be an appealing or a distracting character. In the case of this wine is shows jubilant purple fruit, licorice, vanilla, a potpourri of dried violets and cedar chips. The palate is just as charming and bouncy as the nose. Fresh and approachable, with fine, textural tannins and a youthful demeanor.
A lovely step up from the last vintage of this wine.

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”.
