Winemaker's Notes: Deep garnet-red, purple rim. Perfumed blueberry liqueur, sweet vanilla overlay. Creamy blueberry tart notes. Rich, sweet, mouth-filling. Patisserie, chocolate sauce. A hint of aniseed liqueur. Gentle defining tannins on finish.

Marquis-Phillips Grenache, 2008
It has been quite a while since I've tasted Marquis-Phillips wines. When I had the opportunity to try it again I was excited.
The 2008 Marquis-Phillips Grenache is from McLaren Vale, Australia. When I tasted it, it started with a cherry flavor and finished with spice. It was not tannic, but did have a thin mouthfeel. I did not get any of the flavor profile the winemaker says exists in this wine. I did not enjoy this as much as I use to. The thin mouthfeel didn't do it for me. The 2008 Marquis-Phillips Grenache was just okay and there are many other wines out there that are more enjoyable.
