WineScores' Review

Rustic, approachable, fresh. From the region that gives us Port, this red blend of Touriga Nacional, Touriga Franca and Sousao, is a straight-forward and food-friendly.
Quevedo is part of a new generation of small family wineries based in the Douro. For many years, these families were growing grapes, and making Port wine, for merchants based in Vila Nova de Gaia. Quevedo cultivates 100 hectares of vineyards across six properties in the Douro valley, from the sub-regions of the Cima Corgo and the Douro Superior. Oscar's is a casual picnic-style of red and it delivers notes of strawberry jam and cherry liqueur, vanilla, licorice, chocolate and baking spice aromas. It has a rusticity to the palate with wild red berries, cigar, leather and cocoa flavours. Textural and fresh it's a simple food red with a medium-length finish.

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”.
