Clarendon Hills 2003 Syrah Astralis Vineyard
Filed under: Wine
The 2003 Syrah Astralis Vineyard from
Clarendon HIlls is the latest addition to my list of
fantasy wines. Usually the thought of an Australian Syrah doesn't inspire me to dream of the day my ship comes in and my
wine cellar runneth over but this is no ordinary Syrah. This wine has received high marks from Wine Advocate which
proclaimed it as being nearly as good as the 2002, a wine Robert Parker referred to as being "akin to midnight
oil." Parker has anointed Clarendon Hills winemaker as one of the world's best. The Astralis vineyard is planted
with the old clones of low-yielding Syrah grapes and matured in French oak barrels. The 2003 has an inky purple
color with aromas of white flowers, chocolate and espresso roast. It sells for $319.99 from
wine.com and should be cellared for another five to eight years for maximum enjoyment.
