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

WA98
Deep garnet-brick colored, the 2005 Carnival of Love displays a more earthy, meaty, gamey character with plenty of coffee and damp loam aromas fused with smoked bacon, some iron ore, Chinese plums, a little floral note and even a bit of truffles character coming through. It is very rich and full-bodied, with the acid line standing out a little from the very concentrated and quite evolved fruit core. Still, it has amazing layers and a lot to give on the very long, licorice-laced finish, even if just a bit warm.
WS94
Brims with personality, playing its toasty, roasted wheat berry and dusky spice flavors against a vital core of dark, juicy blackberry, plum and cherry fruit. The finish just doesn't quit, with the tannins wrapping it all firmly but gently. Best from 2008 through 2016. 2,894 cases made.
