Proprietary Blend: 750ml

$16.00

about this wine:

"Marquis Philips Sarah's Blend is one of the hot new wines from Down Under, a collaboration between winemakers Sarah and Sparky Marquis and importer Dan Philips of the Grateful Palate...Marquis Philips Sarah's Blend is a blend of 62% Shiraz, 19% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Merlot. It is deep ruby/purple in color with medium-full body, moderate acidity and soft, ripe tannins. This bold red offers rich aromas and flavors of blackberry, black currant, plum, fig, licorice, vanilla and spice. Aged in French and American oak, it is nicely balanced to enjoy now and over the next 7-8 years. Rich flavors linger on the finish."

"Marquis Philips is the most exciting wine project to emerge from Australia, and perhaps the New World, in the last year. Run, don't walk to a client of The Grateful Palate and secure as much as you can of these wines."

About Winery

With veteran vigneron Chris Ringland now in charge of the winemaking, I can state unequivocally that this is the finest collection of Marquis Philips wines since the label was started in 2000. Nevertheless, these wines will be controversial because all but one of the non-Roogle wines is over 16% alcohol. The small but vocal crowd of Australia bashers will have a field day taking these wines to task as they do with the Mollydooker wines (which seem to sell out anyway). Ringland is concerned about flavor and balance which is what these wines are all about. Those seeking low alcohol, subtlety, and finesse should of course look elsewhere. Those who want a big mouthful of sensual pleasure should read on. The Roogle Series is meant to be a bargain-priced introduction to the Marquis Philips upper level wines. The Marquis Philips wines are predominantly sourced from McLaren Vale while the Roogle wines are multi-regional.
