April 8, 2024 - Still one of the best bang-for-your-buck Shiraz wines out there right now. For fans of big and jammy, get it before it's gone.

February 5, 2024 - I've had a few vintages of this cuveé now (and various others from the winery), all of which ranged from solid to excellent for my palate- this 2019 felt like a small step down from all the rest. I certainly know the power and extraction of their style is deliberate, and I sometimes really crave it, even with a general preference for old-world styles. This time, it was just a little too much; the alcohol and especially the oak seemed out of balance, with a pretty aggressive heat signature and so much noticeable oak that there was almost a bitter scent to it. Sure, the fruit itself was still really nice, really dark and deep without feeling needlessly jammy at all. The structure is there without getting in the way, and I wouldn't call it flabby. It's just a little aggressive. Thankfully, having it with a burger really helped bring it together, but it wasn't the "big but balanced" Mollydooker I was expecting given past experiences. It was enjoyeable in the end for sure, just felt goofy rather than rich/full.

October 14, 2023 - Really nice QPR. Plenty of ripe fruit on nose and palette. Paired well with empanadas on day 1 and then chicken Parm on day 2.
