WineScores' Review

Opulent, brazen, supple.
An opulent nose adorns this 60% Cabernet Franc and 40% Malbec, which was harvested from sites in Franschhoek and Paarl and was aged in a mixture of new and older French oak demi-muids for 18 months.
Ouzo and black cherries, plums, liquid chocolate, finely ground baking spice aromas are lightly seasoned with with fleur de sel. The palate has a liqueur-like weight and flavours of preserved salted plums, cherry, espresso and bitter chocolate. Concentrated, supple and persistent, this is a brazen red perfect for BBQ, aged cheeses, grilled eggplant, and game.

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”.
