New Mollydooker Lineup RELEASED
September 05, 2008
The NEW RELEASE LINEUP of Mollydooker wines by Sarah and Sparky
Marquis.
As many of you know, we were early on the Sarah and Sparky
"bandwagon" when they made their wines under the Marquis Philips
label. Since the falling out in 2005 with importer Dan
Philips, their new Mollydooker label has jetisoned to the pinnacle
of popularity on the international wine scene. Frankly, there is no
other winery portfolio we receive more demand for.....and even in this
slow economy we expect a very brisk response for these sumptuous and fruit laden
wines. Yes, Sarah and Sparky have THE touch......and what they like
to call "WOW" FACTOR!
I have divided the latest rosterum into 3 areas of
focus. Value, Wow
and Collectibility!
The following notes are from Sarah and Sparky, with a few
editoral comment from me (no, I have not tasted these latest releases, but will
do so immediately upon delivery late next week.....I expect most will be sold
out by that time.).
Although MOST of these wines
are VERY LIMITED, I AM OFFERING FABULOUS SAVINGS AS
NOTED.
PLEASE ORDER BY REPLYING DIRECTLY
TO THIS EMAIL. Orders will be
processed and confirmed as received.
2008
Violinst Verdelho - $24.95/NOW
$21.95
Unoaked, but very creamy
texture. Bright citrus aromas and tropical flavors. Only white
made by Sarah and Sparky. ES
2007 Scooter Merlot - $24.95/NOW $22.95 - ONLY TWO CASES
AVAILABLE!
Named after Sparky's scooter racing years, it?s the
perfect wine to relax with! Beautiful merlot dark cherry fruit with
caressing soft tannins The first vintage we made was 2006 which was awarded 91
points by the Wine Advocate. Drink through 2013.
Pairs with:
Light pork dishes such as a grilled,
double-cut pork chop with red onion jam. Also great with breaded chicken thighs
or schnitzel of any kind, and even goes great with beet salad and a light
vinaigrette.
2007 Maitre d' Cabernet
Sauvignon - $24.95/NOW $22.95 - ONLY FOUR CASES
AVAILABLE!
This wine is named after Sparky who put himself through
winemaking college as a left-handed Maitre D' and reckons this is the best
vintage yet for our Cabernet!
Sourced from our cooler climate vineyards, it
is rich, intensely flavored, yet elegant in style. Sparky thinks this is the
best vintage ever! Our 2006 vintage was awarded 91 points by Robert
Parker's Wine Advocate! Drink now
through 2013
Pairs With:
Summer grilling and
winter roasts, we love this wine with a grass-fed beef flank salad, grilled
summer vegetables and roasted shallot viniagrette. Our Cabs tend to go well with
savory full-flavored meats such as roasted lamb, beef short ribs or even
spice-rubbed or barbeque?d chicken. Especially delicious with hard cheeses and
milk chocolate!
Both the Merlot and Cabernet have
always been exceptional values! We can produce similar wines on the
west coast, but the price will be at least double!
ES
2007 Two Left
Feet Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot -
$24.95/NOW $21.95
Everyone seems to love having Two Left Feet! Named for
Sarah and Sparky's dancing ability! Our 2006 vintage was rated 93 points
by the Wine Advocate & rated 90 points and named ?Wine of the Week?
by Wine Spectator. Drink now through
2012.
Pairs
with:
Herb-crusted pork tenderloin with sweet potato gnocchi, crispy
silver beet, bacon and browned butter. Also delicious on its own! We recommend
that when you drink with friends to bring more than one bottle, or you won't get
much for yourself. Enjoy!
Seems to be THE most popular of
all the Mollydooker wines! ES
2007
The Boxer Shiraz - $24.95/NOW $22.95 - ONLY 3 CASES
AVAILABLE!
WOW! Complexed by combining the regional flavors of grapes
from McLaren Vale, Langhorne Creek and Padthaway, this wine has incredible power
and purity.
As you know, Mollydooker means Aussie for left-hander, so the
label depicts a boxer with two left gloves; sure to knock you out! The 2006 was
an enormous hit, after receiving 94 points by the Wine Advocate,
and chosen as the 3rd Best Value Red Wine from Australia by Wine Spectator
with 90 points! Incredible Shiraz at an unbeatable price. Drink
through 2014.
Pairs with:
Grilled rib-eye with sweet
carrot puree and horseradish cream sauce. All our Shiraz wines go well with just
about any savory, full-flavoured meats such as roasted lamb, beef short ribs or
even spice-rubbed or barbeque?d chicken, and are complimented by aged, hard
cheeses, or soft blues and is especially delicious with dried cherries, salted
marcona almonds and milk chocolate!
Hard to find a better Shiraz or
Syrah for the money!! ES
2007 Blue Eyed Boy Shiraz - $58.50/NOW $49.50 - HUGE SAVINGS!!!
A truly remarkable Shiraz. This powerful yet extremely
smooth and aromatic wine fills your mouth with lovely ripe, sweet fruit. It will
amaze you with its unctuous texture and silky tannins. The Blue Eyed Boy on the
label is Sarah and Sparky's son, Luke. Our first release was the 2006 vintage
which was rated 96 points by the Wine Advocate and 92 points by Wine
Spectator. Drink now through 2019.
Pairs with:
Aromatic braised lamb shoulder with
a prune reduction sauce and roasted pine nuts. It will match almost any savory
full-flavoured meats such beef short ribs or even spice-rubbed or barbequed
chicken. Our Shiraz's match very well with aged, hard cheeses from cow or goat's
milk such as sharp cheddar, parma or manchego.
The 2006 was well deserving of
its 96 point rating by the Wine Advocate. Sold more than any of
the other wines last year, so my larger allocation this vintage
affords me to offer at substantial discount to you. ES
2007
Enchanted Path Shiraz-Cabernet Sauvignon -
$94.95/NOW $85.95 - MORE
SAVINGS!!! - ONLY 18 BOTTLES
AVAILABLE!!
This wine celebrates our
journey in life and our partnership in winemaking. Just as we use our separate
abilities to enhance our winemaking, we blend the separate characters of these
two classic varieties into a beautiful wine. Our 2006 vintage was rated 94
points by the Wine Advocate and 93 points in Wine Spectator. Drink now to
2017.

Peppered lamb
loin with thyme and mushroom risotto. Matches well with almost all savoury,

2007
Carnival of Love Shiraz -
$94.50/NOW $88.95 -
LIMITED!!
Our whole family is involved in making our wines, and all
the wonderful people who drink them become our friends, so we named this wine
Carnival of Love, because the wines bring us all together. Our 2006 vintage was
awarded 97 points by the Wine Advocate. The same wine was awarded 95 points,
and named ?2007 - #8 Top 100 Wines in the World?

Rack of
lamb with a cherry reduction jus on saged polenta. This wine is incredibly
balanced and goes surprisingly well with almost anything, but especially with
fine red meats and good friends.
Big WOW FACTOR in effect for both
the ENCHANTED & CARNIVAL! Magically endowed with fruit
intensity! Lush, thick textures coat the palate. Almost too
much of a good thing! ES
2007
Velvet Glove Shiraz - $189.95 NET - Last vintage I had a lottery to
determine who could purchase this wine!! AGAIN, EXTREMELY
LIMITED!!
Velvet Glove exemplifies our craft at its best, which is why
we only make it in the years we are blessed with exceptional fruit.
To honor the beauty and individuality of our Velvet Glove
Shiraz, we seal it in a unique bottle, apply a real velvet label printed in
silver foil, and then place the bottle in a gorgeous velvet bag embroided with
silver thread. It's our labor of love to provide you with a joyful experience
from beginning to end.
The 2006 vintage was our first release and was
awarded 99 points by the Wine Advocate and 97 points by Harvey Steiman at
Wine Spectator.
Instantly became a legend!
Profound wine in a glamourous package! ES
