2006 Clarendon Hills Onkaparinga Grenache

Very deep black crimson colour with black crimson hue. Perfumed nose with raspberry and raspberry jam top note, followed by a hint of earth with violet end note. Very spicy palate, with flavours of raspberry, spice and confectionary. Slightly chalky but fine tannins. Very long aftertaste of spice with confectionary, raspberry and a touch of rose petal evident.
Cellar 3-4 years (2011-2012)
Alc/Vol: 14.5%

Other Reviews…
The 2006 Grenache Onkaparinga is the deepest colored of the Grenaches. With a complex, nearly exotic aromatic array, a velvety texture, and plenty of flavors, this is a hedonistically-styled Grenache that has enough structure to evolve for 6-8 years and provide pleasure through 2025.
