Remember..it's just one person's opinion. Use reviews as a guide, not a bible. The best thing to do is to find a reviewer that you find you generally agree with. Think of it like audio reviews..over the years there are reviewers who I've found look for the same qualities that I do in equipment and music(Art Dudley)...there are some that I avoid like the plague(Sam Tellig).
I taste every week with 9 winemaker, enologist, vineyard type guys and I can tell you that it's pretty rare that we all agree on a wine. Unless it's technically flawed then we all hammer it pretty well.
I think the 100 point scale sucks anyway. Northwest Palate magazine uses a 3 grape scale. 3 grapes is outstanding ( you don't see many) 2 grapes is highly recommended, and 1 grape is recommended..everything else is left out. To think that someone's career rests on the difference between a 90 and an 89 is crazy...and the reason that I'll probably never send my wines in to WS to be reviewed
