WineScores' Review

Polished, potent, generous.
The Falernia estate is located in the northernmost viticultural region of Chile, in the Elqui Valley and Number One is made from what has come to be known as Chile's grape, Carmenere, along with Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah.
It's a limited production wine that was aged entirely in oak.
Wild black berries and white pepper, grilled red bell peppers, charred orange peel, salted cod and cedar aromas lead to a palate with sweet and generous fruit and pronounced umami flavours. The weight is notable it's thick, almost glycerol, and it's potent. The tannins are polished.

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”.
