WineScores' Review

Brooding, extracted, classic. This Riserva is made by Santa Margherita from Sangiovese and a splash of Canaiolo and was aged about 2 years in new French oak barrels.
Wild red berry and cherry aromas are woven with charred licorice branch, tobacco, brown spices, toasted oak and there are some pretty floral undertones. It has an attractive weight and is definitely more brooding and extracted than many of the others I've tasted recently. It has a charred sort of bitterness in the form of spice and cocoa. It's firm and has classic Chianti tannins and a tobacco flavoured finish.

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”.
