(90% new French oak) Opaque ruby. Smoky dark berry, cherry-cola, licorice and sassafras on the nose, with a lively mineral quality adding urgency. Gains complexity with air, picking up a floral nuance along with sexy Asian spice character. Fleshy and sweet in the mouth, with powerful dark fruit and floral pastille flavors supported by a firm mineral spine. Leaves a sweet trail of red and dark berries behind on the strikingly persistent, pure finish.
The 2007 Syrah Hickinbotham has slightly muted aromas of mineral, underbrush, spice box, blackberry, and blueberry. On the palate it displays a stern personality with plenty of underlying structure and some austerity. It has excellent balance, depth, and length which will be fully exhibited in another 4-6 years.

Ripe and fresh-tasting, with beautifully focused blackberry, plum and white pepper flavors, picking up a meaty, corned beef note as the finish sails on against lightly prickly tannins. Drink now through 2020. 600 cases made. -HS

The 2007 Hickinbotham comes across as tight and in need of additional cellaring. Right now, it's showing only some subtle oak and spice framing dark fruit and earthy, savory notes. With its apparent richness and depth, give it until 2015 or so to come around, then drink it over the next 10 years.

2007 Clarendon Hickinbotham Syrah The tannin comes first, but then the fruit comes on, with a fresh cranberry and floral blueberry flavor. This is dense, though not quite as heavy as some of the other '07s from Clarendon Hills. A toasty, black shiraz suited to several years of bottle age, and then to grilled lamb.
