Hollick Ravenswood Cabernet Sauvignon 2008
A powerful, assertive and riper expression of this label, with weight and concentration. Its faintly confiture-like bouquet of blackberries, dark plums and chocolate/cedar oak overlies a graphite-like minerality and a hint of currant. Deep, dark and pure, with intense cassis, mulberry and dark plum flavour backed by sweet chocolate/mocha oak and firm, fine-grained spine of chalky tannins, it finishes with length and brightness.

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.
