2005 Marquis Philips "The Grail of Lisa"

My distributor alerted me about this wine last week. I took the plunge and ordered a three-pack to try. I decided to find out if it is any good and took it to dinner on Satursday night . I am guessing the name is to pay hommage to Marquis Philips's winemaker Lisa Wetherell. Supposedly, Marquis Philips produced this wine as a reserve level wine that can rival the Marquis Philips Shiraz 9 and Shiraz Integrity. Here is the information that I have found so far directly from Grateful Palate Imports:

Vintage:

2005

Region(s) Of Fruit Source:

74% Langhorne Creek, 17% McLaren Vale and 9% Padthaway

Soil:

Langhorne Creek - shallow grey sandy loam, McLaren Vale - well drained loam overlimestone, Sellicks Hill subregion - Biscay soil, Padthaway - shallow soil over limestone

Trellis System :

Vertical shoot positioned and Scott Henry

Varietal blend:

100 % Shiraz

Winemaker(s):

Lisa Wetherell

Alc/vol:

16.4%

Age of Vines:

10-15 years old

Yield per acre:

4 tonnes per acre

Wood Treatment :

Matured for 24 months in new American oak hogsheads

My tasting note is as follow: " This wine style reminds me a lot of the Henry's Drive Shiraz. It has lots of Blackberry, White Chocolate, and Coconut Oil. The latter two are using descriptors that I found coming from American Oak. The fruit is ripe but its structure is quite restrained which helps to balance out the 16.4% Alc. Overall, it is an outstanding wine. My score range is 92-94 points."

I think you have a thorough understanding in this matter. You describe in detail all here.

Have you been turned down by other lenders?

When you're in not good state and have got no money to move out from that point, you will need to receive the credit loans. Just because that would aid you definitely. I take small business loan every single year and feel myself good just because of that.
