Wine blogger Brian Pasch is the first to experience and review the 2009 Mollydooker Blue Eyed Boy Shiraz, when he visited the Mollydooker winery this April to exclusively taste the entire 2009 Mollydooker portfolio.

Many winemakers have hailed this year’s growing season as ‘excellent’, and Pasch’s reviews echo those sentiments.

Part of what makes Mollydooker Wines so unique is that their portfolio can vary based on the quality of fruit harvested.  The vineyard fruit is scored based on its Marquis Fruit Weight™ score.  For example, the Blue Eyed Boy Shiraz is only produced from vineyards that have a 75% Fruit Weight score.

The 2009 Blue Eyed Boy is 100% Shiraz from the Mollydooker Home Block Vineyard and Langhorne Creek Vineyards.  “This is the best Blue Eyed Boy (BEB) I have ever tasted,” raved Pasch in his review on Corkd.com, a comprehensive source of wine news. “The purity of this wine was amazing. It was a unified presentation of fruit with a complex flavor profile. The lasting finish had evolving flavors that begged me to take another sip.”
