Readers should not confuse this winery with Clarendon Hills. The Clarendon winery has produced an exuberant, explosively ripe, powerful Shiraz with an opaque purple color, and a sweet, American oak-dominated nose with blackberry jam-like notes in the background. Unctuously-textured, full-bodied and chewy, this is a muscular, macho-styled wine that delivers plenty of fruit, alcohol, and glycerin. Drink it over the next 5-7 years.
