WineScores' Review

Savoury, umami, fleshy.
This estate grown Cab Franc was fermented using wild yeasts, aged 15 months in neutral French oak barrels and was unfined and unfiltered; Clos du Soleil also uses biodynamic practices in its vineyard.
Wild black berry aromas are woven with dried herbs, green olives, smoked sausage, brown spices, soy sauce, dark cocoa and leather. The palate is fresh with more levity than the nose would lead you to assume; fleshy on the tongue with rich umami, savoury flavours. Good acidity adds levity and it finishes with salted mocha notes.

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”.
