Brian Pasch has just released the first review of the 2009 Mollydooker Enchanted Path Shiraz/Cabernet blend. His review for the Enchanted Path as well as the entire 2009 Mollydooker Portfolio can now be read online at Corkd.com.
Wine blogger Brian Pasch is the first to taste the 2009 Mollydooker Enchanted Path. Many winemakers have hailed this year’s growing season as ‘excellent’, and Pasch’s reviews reflect those sentiments. Pasch visited the Mollydooker winery in April 2010 for the exclusive opportunity to be the first to taste and review the entire 2009 Mollydooker portfolio.
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 Enchanted Path is only produced from vineyards that have an 85% Fruit Weight score or higher.
The Enchanted Path is a blend of Cabernet and Shiraz which Pasch says is “harmonious, with a sweet jammy nose.” The Enchanted Path is matched with the Carnival of Love (98 pts). Both of these wines have a Marquis Fruit Weight score of 90%.
