What to Expect

Australia has certainly made Syrah its own, even bestowing it with a new name: Shiraz. In the warm, dry climate of Australia this noble grape, responsible for some of the grandest wines of France, produces an intense, unique expression that is distinctly Australian. The ripe grapes take on classic notes of black pepper and leather that add depth and complexity to the black cherry and plum fruits on the palate. Australian Shiraz has typically been aged in American Oak barrels which impart the wine with a distinct note of vanilla that can add to the impression of ripeness many of these wines have, but the time in barrel also allows the wines a chance to settle and reveal their rich, voluptuously styled mouthfeel.

The 2001 Syrah Piggott Range may be one of several Clarendon Hills' Syrah cuvees that stand toe to toe with its 2002 sibling. A giant Syrah, it boasts an enormously rich nose of black fruits, subtle vanilla, smoke, and a hint of graphite. Extrem... Robert Parker. A Syrah wine from South Australia in Australia. 2001 Clarendon Hills Shiraz Piggott Range Vineyard 750ml

Rating: 94(+?) - As reviewed by International Wine Cellar in Issue 109, July/August 2003 ($90) Saturated bright, dark ruby to the rim. Deep, brooding aromas of blackberry, violet, pepper and eucalyptus. Lush, deep, chewy and extremely primary, with a highly concentrated flavor of crushed raw blackberry. Densely packed, impressively rich syrah, finishing with powerful but ripe tannins. A bit like a junior version of this producer's Astralis. Next to a wine like this, many of Australia's extremely late-harvested shiraz bottlings come off as cooked, flabby and distinctly tiring to drink.
