Mollydooker Winery 茉莉杜克酒莊
來自南澳McLarenVale地區，屢獲WA給予99分的高評價，也被Wine Spectator列世上最有價值的20個酒莊之一。
結合了名氣、設计、愛情、以及最密集94-99分評價等元素的澳洲Mollydooker酒莊，其實在澳洲當地的意思是「左撇子」，這是因為莊主夫婦Sparky Marquis與Sarah Marquis 兩人剛好都是左撇子，他們共結連理也是因為葡萄酒。
酒莊名酒Carnival of Love「愛的嘉年華」在過去10年中，有6個年份進入美國Wine Spectator 的Top 100名單，其中2009年獲得第9名，而2014年甚至拿下第2名，這款充滿McLaren Vale風情的佳釀，不只質優異，酒標設計更是讓人記憶深刻，已經是全球愛酒人追的名酒。酒莊酒款分成Lefty「左撇子」、Party「派對」、Love「愛情Velvet Glove「絲絨手套」4個系列，全都被瘋狂喜愛著。
This 2020 Blue Eyed Boy Shiraz is a fascinating wine to me, in that it offers everything that I might find challenging in one glass (high alcohol at 16%, prominent American oak and volumes of generous, abundantly concentrated, extracted fruit), yet it does so in such a way that I end up appreciating the construction and the execution despite my stylistic preferences. It's a smart wine. On the nose, there is toasted coconut (American oak fermentation and elevage), chocolate-coated raspberries, licorice bullets, lamb roast, star anise and resinous char. In the mouth, the fruit plumes over the palate and blankets the mouth in flavor. Cushioned, pillowed and very intense, the alcohol provides warmth and density through the finish. Drink it in the short to medium term to capture the vibrancy of the fruit.
