WineScores' Review

Brooding, grippy, concentrated.
The small and concentrated berries resulting from the 2017 vintage are apparent in this year's Cabernet. Sage, black pepper, black currents, earth and loads of spice, dark chocolate, espresso beans and tobacco aromas lead to an intense and muscular palate. Brooding in character with an excess of grape tannins it is dark, grippy and has a sooty finish.
I recommend decanting.

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”.
