WineScores' Review

Cocoa, spicy, savoury.
A Merlot-dominant made by the Golden Mile Bench's Road 13, Seventy-four K is named for the rows of vines, end-to-end you would have to walk 75km to cover the distance.
Lavender wrapped cherry, paprika dusted raspberry, pencil shavings, cocoa, sage and dried violets are expressed on the nose. The palate is savoury and spicy, has a leaner body than the nose suggests, and trails flavours of bay leaf, sage, toasted, spice, tobacco and leather.

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”.
