2007 Blue Eyed Boy
Subtotal: $0.00
About This Wine:
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. Janet (Sparky's Mum) describes it as 'Joy in a bottle'.

The Blue Eyed Boy on the label is Sarah and Sparky's son, Luke.

Vineyards
The grapes for the 2007 BLue Eyed Boy came from the Longbottom vineyard in Padthaway, the Belladaren vineyard in Langhorne Creek, and the Dry Creek vineyard in McLaren Vale.
The Longbottom vineyard in Padthaway is owned by Scott & Cheryl Longbottom who have been with us for over ten years. Scott & Cheryl are very successful farmers growing broad acre and onion crops as well as managing hundreds of acres of vines. Cheryl personally supervises the training of all young vines and the straight trunks of all of the vines in their vineyards are a testimony to her attention to detail. The fruit from these cooler climate vineyards has a beautiful lifted perfume character which extends the flavour profile of Mollydooker wines.
The Belladaren vineyard in Langhorne Creek is owned by Darren & Belinda Joppich who are some of the most innovative farmers in the area. Langhorne Creek borders Lake Alexandrina and last century, most of the trees in the area were chopped down and used to fuel the paddlesteamers that used to ply the waters. Darren was one of the first to plant salt bush on the eroded paddocks and turned disaster into success. You should taste his saltbush lamb! Darren and Belinda have also installed a desalination plant on their property so that they can go on watering their vines according to the Marquis Vineyard Watering Program™.
The Dry Creek vineyard is in the Sellicks Hill area of McLaren Vale and is owned and managed by Darryl, Neville & Jan Kirwin. The Kirwin family have years of grape growing experience in the Riverland area of South Australia and moved to McLaren Vale to follow their dream of producing grapes which would make quality wine. Their two 5 acre Shiraz blocks have 8 watering zones each, making them the most complex vineyards that we manage under our watering program. Darryl looks after the block and we reckon that he knows every vine personally!
Drink
Now - 2019
This wine is lovely to drink now, so why wait? Just make sure you give it a good ‘Mollydooker Shake’! Harvey Steiman at Wine Spectator reckons this wine will drink great now through 2014.
Pairs with
Savory full-flavored meats such as roasted lamb, 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. Especially delicious with dried cherries, salted marcona almonds and dark chocolate!
Reviews
Wine Spectator
'This has a hot black pepper streak running through the meaty cherry, dense plum and spice flavors, persisting on the round, supple finish. Drink now through 2014'. - 92 pts, Harvey Steiman, www.winespectator.com
