Marquis Philips is an American-Australian collaboration, a joint project of owner Dan Philips of The Grateful Palate and winemakers Chris Ringland and Lisa Wetherell. The grapes for the label’s red wines, including 100% Shiraz and Cabernets as well as blends, come largely from regions south of Adelaide—Padthaway, McLaren Vale and Langhorne Creek, on the Fleurieu Peninsula. Fruit for the premium Shiraz named Integrity is sourced mainly from Langhorne Creek.
Wine Advocate
The 2006 Shiraz was barrel-fermented and aged in predominantly American oak for 12 months. It offers up fragrant aromas of cedar, smoke, tar, blueberry, and blackberry liqueur. Full-bodied, opulent, and structured, this intense, well-balanced Shiraz will evolve for 2-3 years and drink well through 2016. It is an excellent value.
Score: 92.
