At the Yarra Yering dinner last Thursday night with winemaker, Sarah Crowe. YY was one of the first vineyards in Australia to make an excellent Pinot Noir. I remember buying a dozen of the 1986 - long since gone of course. Made by the late Dr Bailey Carrodus. A mixed planting of 4 clones in 1969. Red fruited with a touch of violets. 30% in new French barrels with the balance in used oak. The over riding lasting impression is its silky texture. — 2 years ago

Very dense ruby in colour- almost black. Aromas of burnt black currant. Very full bodied with profound intensity - chocolate and ripe black fruits finishing with supple silky Tannins ie the Mollydooker calling card. Great marketing and making rich full bodied McLaren Vale Shiraz allowed Sparky and Sarah Marquis ( just Sarah these days) great penetration of the US market along with excellent reviews from Harvey Steiman and Wine Spectator. I believe Mollydooker would probably be better known in the US than in Australia. A great Australian export story. — 7 years ago

9.3

Deep purple/ inky in color with a reddish rim.

Beautiful nose of red and black fruits with cedar, vanilla, licorice, Indian spices, tobacco leaf and chocolates.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry and very fruity on the palate with red cherries, currants, black plums, cedar, tobacco leaf, vanilla, licorice, spices, chocolates, herbs and peppercorn.

Long tangy finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a beautiful Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Elegant, fruit forward and exciting. Nicely balanced and complex.

Still very young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, but already drinking gorgeously.

Already drinking beautifully, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 7 years and see how it evolves.

A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a big piece of steak.

A tiny production of only 640 bottles.

14.9% alcohol by volume.

Had a couple of these “Blue Boys” in my cellar. Mollydooker (Aussie for left-hander) Wines was established in 2005 by Sarah and Sparky Marquis. Dark Ruby with big dark berry fruit nose adding sweet spice and cedar. On the palate this wine has complex flavors of blackberry and blueberry with cacao, oak and vanilla. Fine dusty tight tannins, peasant mouthfeel, full-bodied, long ending with a nice spicy finish. Aging well, good now, has room to run. — 5 years ago

Why we drink wine! Expression of Sarah in the place where it is best...and a vintage that allows us to look back at this great development as an act of nature! Simply memorable...can never forget! 1978 not 1918 😳 — 7 years ago

The final wine at the Yarra Yering dinner in Brisbane last Thursday night 3rd October 2024 with winemaker Sarah Crowe. Fitting that Dry Red No. 1 should be the final wine - arguably the Jewel in the Crown. Initial aromatic impressions are gorgeous. This is the 50th vintage of Dry Red No. 1. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot. Brief notes - blackberry, aniseed and bay leaf. A medium bodied Cabernet with M+ intensity and finishing with fine boned tannin structure. Power with poise, concentration with finesse. Will live for 20 years plus. I have been buying on an irregular basis for many years. The 1990 was a highlight. I asked Sarah, who was Chairman of the Royal Sydney Wine Show this year to compare 3 of the main Cabernet producing areas in Australia - Yarra Valley leafy fragrance, Coonawarra Mint, and Margaret River herbaceousness. At Restaurant Dan Arnold. — 2 years ago

While lighter-bodied and far from memorable it is tough to be too critical when you can pick up this charming and very quaffable 8 year old Bordeaux Supérieur for $6.99 today at Grocery Outlet. — 7 years ago
