Robert Parker's Wine Advocate says the following about this producer: "Roman Bratasiuk’s Clarendon Hills is one of the world’s great wine estates. The wines are all 100% varietal, produced from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Grenache, and Syrah. The vineyards are all ungrafted, planted on their own roots, most of them with very old vines. Only French oak is utilized, seasoned barrels for the Grenache, 100% new for the Merlot and Cabernets, and 50-100% new for the Syrahs depending upon the vineyard. The wines typically spend 18 months in oak prior to bottling without fining or filtration."
Clarendon Hills classify the Hickinbotham Cabernet as a "Grand Cru" level in their rankings - one down from Astralis ("1er Grand Cru") and the same level as Piggott Range Syrah and Romas Grenache.
Reviews:
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Jay Miller) - 96 Points
The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Hickinbotham Vineyard is the most muscular and densely packed of the Cabernets. This opulent effort will evolve for a minimum of a decade and drink well through 2036.
Vinous (Jay Reynolds) - 93 points
Youthful purple. Powerfully scented, exotic aromas of dark berries, smoky Indian spices, incense and minerals. Structured and concentrated, with deep, sweet cassis and bitter cherry flavors supported by dusty tannins. Expands with air, becoming sweeter while maintaining impressive focus and chewy grip. An interesting sweet tobacco quality clings to the finish, which is sweet and strikingly persistent. At once powerful and balanced.
