A very consistent vineyard, which always has very dark colour and black plum fruit with a gamey, leathery background. This has more to do with Cornas or Hermitage.

Untitled
"Big and rich, but surprisingly graceful, with lavish raspberry, rhubarb and cherry flavors that linger beautifully. Picks up meaty, gamy notes on the finish, wrapped in a veil of polished tannins. Best from 2008 through 2014. 500 cases imported." -Rated 92, Wine Spectator

"An amazing performance, even better than last year’s showing from tank, the 2004 Syrah Moritz is produced from one of Clarendon Hills’ youngest vineyard sites (planted in 1975). The wine was aged in 42% new French oak for 18 months prior to being bottled unfined and unfiltered. Gorgeous aromas of flowers, blueberries, cassis, and meat jump from the glass of this cuvee. With huge body and a rich, intense style, Bratasiuk claims it is his hypothetical blend of a Cornas and Hermitage, although it possesses more fruit than most of those wines. It should drink well for a minimum of 15 years." -Rated 95, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"This wine is stylistically somewhere between the Liandra and the Brookman. It’s rich and dense, packed with authoritative flavors of dark fruits—blueberries and plums—accented by espresso and smoke. Long and powerful on the finish, with 10-plus years of ageability. — J.C. (12/15/2006)" -Rated 93, Wine Enthusiast

"nky purple. Deep, brooding and dense on the nose, with potent aromas of creme de cassis kirsch, boysenberry, fruitcake, roasted coffee, cured meat and violet. Lush, sweet and silky, the dark berry flavors sharpened by vibrant acidity and a subtle mineral tone. The sweet but sharply etched berry fruit notes show great drive on the long, spicy finish. You could drink this now with no guilt, but it's got the guts for cellaring." -Rated 93, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
