"A fine & stylish grenache whose lean expression of brightly focused fruit is backed by meaty, briary Z& earthy complexity. Its deep fragrance of plums & berries is very perfumed & floral, while its tightly knit & supple palate bursts with vibrant layers of flavour, backed by chocolate & leather. Long, intense & rustic, with a savoury finish & a lingering core of vibrant fruit." – Jeremy Oliver
"What a ride. On the palate, it comes & goes in waves, with cassis surging one moment, & violets & black pepper the next. Tannins are manageable but textured, & the finish brings a nutty, earthy flavor & another burst of berry fruit. Delicious." – Wine Enthusiast
"The dark ruby-colored 2003 Grenache Old Vines Clarendon Hills exhibits a big, sweet nose of kirsch liqueur, raspberries, dusty soil, pepper, & herbs." – Robert Parker
