Grenache
This wine is the ultimate expression of grenache at Clarendon Hills. It has the structure of Blewitt Springs, as it comes from the steepest part of that site, but is refined in all facets. It is sublime in its delivery of speckled elements – which shoot like a laser-guided boomerang- only to return with another flood of character on the finish. This juxtaposition of fruit, florals and minerals is one for the mantle and something to keep an eye on over 20 years.

"There is another level of concentration in this wine, delving in to the very syrup of plum, raspberry and prune with a little dried herb complexity thrown in for good measure; the palate is dense and brooding, massively proportioned and thickly textured; long and luscious and full of chewy tannins to conclude."
Rated 94 points by James Halliday

2006 Hickinbotham Cabernet: "The 2006 Cabernet Hickinbotham Vineyard is a glass-coating deep crimson color. It is the most muscular and densely packed of the Cabernets. Opulent, full-bodied, and intensely flavored, the wine has more than enough structure to evolve in the bottle for a decade or more. It should provide pleasure through 2030." 94-97 POINTS

2006 Romas Grenache: "The 2006 Grenache Romas Vineyard comes from the top triangle of the Blewitt Springs vineyard and provides only half the crop. It is the tightest and most structured of the Grenaches with a nose of toast, smoke, earth, black cherry and black raspberry. Full-bodied and very rich, this impeccably balanced wine conceals enough tannin to permit 8-10 years of evolution in bottle. Drink it through 2030." 93-96 POINTS
