Sort By:

Marquee NV Selections Classic Tokay (Rutherglen)

Price $25

Sticky, syrupy and full-bodied, but still not cloying, by any means. Smells of orange peel, cardamom and caraway seeds, and has more orange, plus honey, hay and meat flaovrs on the palate. As busy as it sounds, it has some delicacy, too, with shortcake flavors taking over midpalate and running hand-in-hand with honey through the finish. — D.T. (12/31/2004)

Marquee 2005 Signature Shiraz (McLaren Vale)

Price $20

This is an earthier, less overtly fruity rendition of McLaren Vale Shiraz, but one that still has plenty of merit. It’s reasonably round and supple in texture, with flavors of black olive that coat the mouth and persist nicely on the finish. — J.C. (3/1/2008)

Marquee NV Selections Classic Muscat (Rutherglen)

Price $25

Butterscotch and some noticeable alcohol on the nose; the palate has butterscotch, then a flash of peach and citrus, then chocolate-cherry candy. Smooth and unctuous, but not superrich. A nice-sized wine for folks who are afraid of big stickies. — D.T. (12/31/2004)

Marquee 2001 Selections Cabernet Sauvignon (Adelaide Hills)

Price $28

If you're expecting big and overblown, just keep walking. Made at Chain of Ponds, this Cab offers pretty taut, borderline tart, flavors with a heap of outdoorsy, rustic elements. Briary, tree-bark aromas on the nose preface taut red plum and cherry fruit, and the texture on the finish is really nice and velvety. The near-tart element is the only thing that's… — D.T. (12/31/2004)

Marquee 2001 Selections Port Phillip Estate Pinot Noir (Mornington Peninsula)

Price $27

Round, overt aromas of plum fruit, cedar and putty prepare you for a wine that’s more brash than this one is. It’s a slimmer-sized Pinot, the cedar and plum notes still present on the palate but taking second billing to a nice, rocky-minerally feel that lasts on the finish. Imported by Marquee Selections. — D.T. (8/1/2005)

Marquee 2003 Signature Cabernet Sauvignon (Langhorne Creek)

Price $20

A solid Cab for a fair price. Thick but smooth tannins dominate on the palate, where plum and berry fruit are pretty tight, almost sour. Woodspice and barbecue aromas on the nose; an even, constant wine overall. 475 cases produced. Imported by Marquee Selections. — D.T. (8/1/2006)

Marquee 2007 Signature Shiraz (McLaren Vale)

Online Exclusive

Price $20

Marked by violet-like scents and touches of pepper-cured meat, this is an intriguing Shiraz. It’s full bodied and creamy in texture, with flavors of blackberry liqueur and licorice. Its only failing is that it seems to fade a bit quickly on the finish. Drink this luscious Shiraz over the next year or two. — J.C. (2/1/2011)

Marquee 2008 Signature Chardonnay (Yarra Valley)

Online Exclusive

Price $15

A lively, balanced wine at an accessible price point, Marquee’s 2008 Signature Chard boasts aromas of smoke, vanilla and stone fruit and flavors that follow along similar lines, with white peach and pineapple coming to the fore. Drink now–2012. — J.C. (2/1/2011)
