2006 Clarendon Hills Moritz Vineyard Syrah

Yet another red showing spectacular black purple colour with black purple hue with excellent cling to the glass. Superb nose of violets, spice, ripe plum, black cherry, vanilla and liquorice. The palate is generous, again an abundance of ripe fruit flavours. Fine slightly dryish tannins – a touch chalky, but perfectly in balance. Flavours of ripe plum, cherry and spice are evident. Very long aftertaste of dark cherry, spice, plum and smoky oak.
Cellar 5-8 years (2013-2016)

Rich, aromatic and powerfully focused. This is a big wine, but it's not at all heavy, showing amazing purity of fruit, with blackberry, plum and huckleberry fruit galore, all pointing toward the long, expressive finish. Tannins are present but well-integrated. Should go far. Best from 2010 through 2020.

The 2006 Syrah Moritz Vineyard has an enticing bouquet of wood smoke, pencil lead, lavender, bacon, blueberry and blackberry. Voluptuous and layered, this intensely flavored wine conceals enough tannin to allow 5-7 years of cellaring. However, it can also be enjoyed in its infancy without arousing feelings of guilt.
