Hollick Ravenswood Cabernet Sauvignon 2006
Profoundly structured and finely balanced, this long-term Coonawarra cabernet has a violet-like and slightly minty fragrance of cassis, mulberries, plums and smoky mocha/cedar/vanilla oak backed by nuances of dried herbs and menthol. Rather closed and brooding, it reveals layers of small black and red berry fruit artfully knit with toasty, savoury oak and very fine, pliant tannins, leaving an impression of restrained strength and structure. It finishes with dark-fruited suggestions of minerals and graphite.

Winery
Hollick
Hollick Estates is a well-established name in Coonawarra whose vines overlie a healthy measure of red dirt and whose winery is equipped with a superb restaurant. Today it's owned by the Hong Kong Leunig Investment Co. Hollick's elegant table wines have stepped up to the mark in recent vintages, particularly with the 2012 Ravenswood and Wilgha Shiraz. Additionally, I particularly enjoy the brightness and elegance of the mid-market Cabernet Sauvignon and Stock Route Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as the sheer drinkability of the late harvest The Nectar Riesling.
