Mollydooker 2012 Carnival of Love Shiraz # 2 Wine in the World
MCLAREN VALE, South Australia, Nov. 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Mollydooker Wines from McLaren Vale, South Australia has earned a top spot in the 2014 Wine Spectator Magazine's Top 10 Wines in the World. The Mollydooker 2012 Carnival of Love Shiraz has been ranked as the Number 2 wine in the world for 2014 (95 points, $75 price and 4,729 cases produced). This is the third time in 9 years that the Carnival of Love Shiraz has been in the Top 10 Wines for Wine Spectator (2006 #8 & 2007 #9).
Mollydooker wines have also been listed in Wine Spectator's Top 100 in eight of the past nine years.
Harvey Steiman, Editor of Wine Spectator wrote the following on the 2012 Carnival of Love Shiraz: "Sinewy, lithe and expressive, packing red berry, black cherry and cardamom aromas and flavors into a tightly focused package. The finish expands and powers up, driving a long and meaty finish. Displays muscle and poise. Drink now through 2022."
"It is absolutely incredible that our wine is being recognized for the third time by Wine Spectator as one of the Top 10 Wines in the World. We are extremely honoured and appreciative of the significance of this amazing award by Wine Spectator," commented Sarah Marquis.
The Wine Spectator Top 10 list is one of the most anticipated wine reviews annually. To make this list, wines are judged on the basis of quality (score), value (price), availability (cases produced or imported) and an "X-factor" referred to as excitement - by way of their singularity or authenticity. In 2014, the editors reviewed more than 18,000 new releases, and the Top 100 includes wines from 15 countries around the world. For more information: http://2014.top100.winespectator.com
