The Winery

Mollydooker

Located in the McLaren Vale region of South Australia, Mollydooker is known for its opulent and silky red wines made from quintessential Australian varieties such as Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. Launched in 2006 by husband and wife duo, Sparky and Sarah Marquis had initially set out to make the best bulk wine in Australia, and instead now produce some of the highest rated Australian wines in America. With their vineyards being located in the prime of Seaview Ridge, ancient soils combined with Mediterranean climate assist in the production of some of the most iconic and fully sustainable grapes. Each vintage, Seaview Ridge contributes to an 80,000 dozen cases of wine from Mollydooker. Today, Sarah has taken the reigns as sole owner and now oversees the running of the business as well the winemaking process with the assistance of her talented and devoted team.

Tasting Notes

WA92
The 2009 Blue Eyed Boy Shiraz is a 20% Langhorne Creek and 80% McLaren Vale blend matured in 71% new and 29% 1 year American oak. Very deep garnet-purple colored, it is profoundly scented of blueberry and black cherry with touches of mint, mocha and the faintest whiff of damp loam. Very full-bodied, the bold, ultra-ripe fruit is well supported by medium-firm chewy tannins and medium-high acid, leading to a very long and pure if slightly warm finish. Drink this one 2012 to 2017+.
WS91
Rich and ripe, with a burnt edge to the spice and dried tomato flavors that remain strong against the blueberry and plum fruit. The tannins are well-meshed. Best from 2012 through 2018. Tasted twice, with consistent notes.
