WineScores' Review

Rustic, spiced, cherries.
Made from traditional Veronese varieties Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara, the Bonacosta is named for the foot of the hillside vineyards in the classico zone.
You'll notice a new label on this well-known wine.
Notes of spiced cherries, saddle leather blackberry, chocolate covered espresso beans and dried herbs are anchored to an earthy core. Fine tannins across the palate add texture and it has decent structure with an espresso and cocoa finish. Straightforward, a little rustic and perfect for tomato-based pastas, grilled meats and most Italian cheeses and dishes.

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”.
