WineScores' Review

Plush, juicy, cheerful.
Hailing from the 110,000 acre predominantly red wine growing AVA of Lodi (claimed as the Zinfandel capital of the world), this plush but balanced Cabernet Sauvignon is blended with Zin and Petite Sirah and matured in French and American oak barrels. Made by the family-owned Oak Ridge Winery (the oldest operating winery in the AVA), it's a Certified Green wine as outlined by Lodi Sustainable Winegrowing. The Maggio & Reynolds families make wines under nine labels, all from Lodi.
Expect dusty plums and black currents, licorice, mocha, baking spice and blueberry aromas, which weave into a juicy red with a supple weight. Lifted purple fruit, vanilla, coffee and spice flavours are expressed on the palate.
An approachable, fresh and cheerful red.

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”.
