Clarendon Hills Vineyard-Syrah-Moritz Vineyard-Clarendon-Australia-2006-14.5% Alcohol-$34.99-A bold nose of dark fruits and spice, dark black purple in color. A full bodied single vineyard Syrah, with blackberry, blueberry, bacon fat and smoke, with a very smooth and long spiced finish. A delicious wine, what I still enjoy about a good Ausi wine that has the alcohol under control. Still many years of life left but why wait. RP-95 WS-94 CR-93 Good with ribs, chicken, pasta.

A dry full bodied Bordeaux blend with current, plum, licorice and spice on finish. Needs a small decant, good QPR. RP-86 CR-88 Good with meats, chicken, pasta.
