In the mid to late nineties,Sarah and Sparky Marquis built up the reputation of the Fox Creek winery into cult status.After 1998,they moved on to start up their own Mollydooker winery and it is debatable whether Fox Creek has ever since kept up their original high standards.
In his most recent revue of older Australian wines in June 2009,Robert Parker rated the Fox Creek Reserve Shiraz wines of their era extremely highly:-
"The three vintages of Reserve Shiraz were all sensational.The fully mature 1997 Reserve Shiraz was in total contrast to the monster 1996.Dark garnet/purple-colored with a sensational bouquet of crushed red and black fruits,charcoal,licorice,incense,and floral undertones,it is full-bodied,with sweet,well-integrated tannin,acidity,and alcohol,and no evidence of wood.Owners can drink it now or hold it for another 5-6 years".
(92 Points).
