Hickinbotham Clarendon Vineyard Elder Hill Grenache 2017 14% 750ml

The wine's remarkably intense, with savory flavours of anise and gunmetal; it has darker, perhaps more serious flavours than various types of cherry-to-raspberry common to many Grenache wines.

Expert Review:
Toni Paterson MW- 93 Points, A sophisticated grenache with distinct savoury elements which balance the generous red-fruit flavours. Refined, quality oak accents add interest. I adore the faint dried cherry accents and the intense red mulberry flavours on the back palate. A classy grenache. Very well-made.
