WineScores' Review

Inaugural, impressive, plush.
There were 175 cases of this estate produced Cabernet Sauvignon, a first ever for Noble Ridge. It was de-stemmed and crushed, then cold soaked for 3 days and aged 24 months in French and American barrels, 75% French, 25% American. Of that 80% was new oak.
Expect plush aromas of chocolate covered cherries and cassis atop brown spices, green bell peppers, toasted oak and tobacco. It has very good concentration, a supple weight and textural grip on the palate. Overall, it has notable balance, is definitely savoury and has impressive length. Classic and complete.

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”.
