WineScores' Review

Impressive, slick, expressive.
One of the Von Mandl Family Estates (VMF) portfolio, which includes in part, Mission Hill, CedarCreek, and Checkmate The Martin's Lane is named for Anthony Von Mandl's father, Dr. Martin Von Mandl. An enticing combination of sweet and spicy, with notes of violets and rainforest floor, botanical, raspberry and blueberries, with cherry jam spiked with star anise. Supple with expressive fruits, it is vibrant with toasted oak undertones. The finish is lengthy with cedar and spice flavours encompassed by sweet tannins.

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”.
