winemaker's notes:

This vineyard is situated in the hills above the township of Clarendon, planted in 1920. The wine from here is always very aromatic, lovely scents of cherry, plum with lavender and basil notes in the background. The wine is always one of the most attractive wines in the portfolio.

alcohol by volume: 14.5%
critical acclaim:

"Lithe, generous and distinctly spicy. Cardamom and turmeric notes weave through the black cherry and tobacco flavors that linger beautifully against superfine tannins. The finish wraps itself into a silky feel. Drink now through 2016. 500 cases imported."

Wine Spectator

"The 2004 Grenache Clarendon Hills exhibits a lovely dark ruby color along with a big, sweet kiss of black cherry liqueur intermixed with hints of tobacco leaves and resiny pine forest scents. Aromatic, smooth, velvety textured, and sexy, this is a full-bodied, delicious Grenache to drink over the next 7-8 years."

The Wine Advocate

"Bright violet. Fresh red berries and gentle spices on the nose, with a light accent of white pepper. Silky and wonderfully sweet, with raspberry and strawberry flavors expanding slowly through a supple, long finish. No edges whatsoever here, just lush, suave fruit and more fruit. This could be confused with a sexy New World pinot."

rating (11/28/2011):
Irresistable. Rasberry infused chocolate pervades the nose. Supple, graceful, and complex. 'Nuff said.
