Hollick Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
A very elegant and finely balanced long-term wine of some class. Its deep aromas of cassis, raspberries, mulberries, red cherries and fresh cedar/vanilla oak reveal a minty regional note, a scent of violets and a suggestion of dried herbs. ItÕs long, firm and pliant, with a tight-knit undercarriage building towards a gravelly strength and crunchy texture towards the finish, with deep cassis, dark plum, mulberry and cedary flavours revealing undertones of dark chocolate and minerals.

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.
