2007 | Mollydooker | Velvet Glove

Deep garnet-black in color, the 2007 Velvet Glove is a little funky on the nose with meaty and earthy aromas underneath notes of coffee, mocha, vanilla and chocolate. Big and rich, with a very ripe, savory palate, there is a little bitterness to the medium-levels of chewy tannins before finishing long.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Deep garnet-black in color, the 2007 Velvet Glove is a little funky on the nose with meaty and earthy aromas underneath notes of coffee, mocha, vanilla and chocolate. Big and rich, with a very ripe, savory palate, there is a little bitterness to the medium-levels of chewy tannins before finishing long.

• Wine Spectator: Lithe, generous and beautifully proportioned, offering a seamless array of dark plum, blueberry and sandalwood flavors wrapped in a veil of fine-grained tannins. Finishes with an intriguing face-off of sweet fruit and spice that keeps on for quite a while.

Producer Information

Mollydooker Wines is a family estate in the McLaren Vale district of South Australia particularly known for its full-bodied, silky red wines made from classic Australian grape varieties like Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. These frequently gain high ratings from Wine Spectator and Robert Parker and are among the most sought-after wines produced in Australia.The label made its debut in 2006, though owner Sarah Marquis already had extensive experience working in the wine trade. Success came rapidly for Mollydooker; The Wine Advocate rated the first edition of The Boxer Shiraz the best value red wine in the world, with the estate's Two Left Feet Shiraz – Cabernet coming second. Mollydooker's Maitre D' Cabernet Sauvignon came in fourth, and just for good measure The Violinist white wine topped the best value white wine list. Unsurprisingly the wines sold out in days and this early success fueled the purchase of vineyards and a winery in 2008.
