2005 was the first vintage of Mollydooker wines and created a frenzy among Australian and California wine drinkers because of the unabashed intensity and great ratings of these offerings. Mollydooker founders Sarah and Sparky Marquis were the brain trust and winemaking team behind the Marquis Philips line, also from Australia. Look for exuberant fruit, intense flavors, deep color and great length. The fruit is sourced from Shiraz vineyards in McLaren Vale, Padthaway and Langhorne Creek. 

Fast forward to 2018 and as is the case with any good story, one chapter comes to an end another one begins. These days, Sarah and Sparky are pursuing their own ‘Enchanted Paths’, with Sarah taking the reins as sole owner and winemaker of Mollydooker, now running the business with the support of the very talented and experienced Mollydooker team… and so a new, exciting chapter at Mollydooker begins!

Black licorice, kirsch and Kalamata olive notes are dense and dark, but give way to plush blackberry, blueberry and Earl Grey tea accents. This harmonious version gains complexity on the finish.

The fruit this year was sourced from McLaren Vale 100%, and despite the warmer vintage, the 2020 The Boxer Shiraz is slightly lower in alcohol than the following 2021 (the product of a cooler vintage-go figure). Here, the 2020 Boxer is more balanced and settled, and whether that is due to an extra year in bottle or the regional sourcing for fruit (methinks a combo of the two), the wine is showing really well. This is a big volume wine-the biggest in the portfolio-but drinks better than that. The immaculate and highly organized winery, which I visited in June, may have something to do with that.
