Mollydooker Blue Eyed Boy

In the Outback world of Australian Shiraz, Mollydooker Blue Eyed Boy is Prince Charming. This crowd-pleaser is royal purple in color, gold ribbon in critical acclaim, and crazy good in taste. It’s the creation of wine magnates Sparky and Sarah Marquis, the southpaw couple who named their winery Mollydooker—Aussie slang for left-handed. In sharp contrast to its relatively soft name, Blue Eyed Boy delivers an immediate burst of black ripe fruit and blueberry cobbler fueled by an explosion of alcohol. Though most southern Australian Shiraz falls into the berry bomb category, Mollydooker has tamed the beast, delivering velvety smooth wine because of its unique watering program, new barrel aging, and serious attention to detail. And Blue Eyed Boy strikes a nice balance between intense fruit and soft tannins, which translates into delicious complexity and immediate drinkability. This powerful, rich-bodied red is available BTG at Ruffino’s Restaurant, where it pairs perfectly with the Prime Ribeye Cap. Or stop by Calandro’s Supermarket, where you can pack your flatbed full for $60 per bottle and throw a rack of ribs on the barbie. Wow!
