Clarendon Hills
Syrah "Hickinbotham"

"Dense, inky crimson-purple; black fruits, earth, tar, licorice and potent new French oak are evident on both the bouquet and palate, the latter with impressive tannins. At the present time, the least evolved and most unready of the '10 range, but I have no fears for its future." Rated 94 Points by James Halliday AWC

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."
