McLaren Vale, South Australia
Wow, with great aromas of currants, plum, a hint of chocolate and spicy sensations, I almost wanted to hold off on the tasting. But that's silly! The taste was even better...with a full flavored explosion of fruity, blackberry flavors leading to a spicy finish, I didn't stop at one glass. I'm guessing (remember I'm no pro at this) that the spicy finish is probably from the higher alcohol content (16%). A smooth and rich wine at a good price point...how can you go wrong?
After such a wonderful experience with this wine, I did a little research. Since I haven't got into rating the wines I taste with any sort of numbering system, which I may do in the future, I found that this vintage received 90pts. from Wine Spectator and the '05 vintage got 95pts. from Robert Parker along with his "Best Wine Value in the World Under $20."
To wrap things up and give you a little insight on the label, here is the definition for "Mollydooker." Its Aussie for left-hander. The boxer on the label has 2 left gloves, sure to knock you out!
Check out the Mollydooker website and learn how to do the Mollydooker Shake...with their wines of course!
