Hollick 'The Bard' Cabernet Sauvignon, Coonawarra, Limestone Coast, Australia
Readers rated this wine:
Classic, fresh, spiced
A boutique winery located in the famed Coonawarra, in the Limestone Coast Wine Zone of South Australia, Hollick produces wines only from estate-grown fruit. Coonawarra is recognized as one of Australia's finest wine regions and is particularly known for Cabernet Sauvignon, which responds exceptionally well in its red terra rossa soils over limestone. Pure underground water and a long cool ripening season for the grapes produce wines of elegance and longevity.
The Bard suggests eucalyptus and vanilla, black currant and smoked plums, dark chocolate and brown spices, pencil shavings and pipe tobacco. Classic Coonawarra stamp; it's fresh and toasted with spice and green olive undertones in the mouth.

The Bard displays juicy mulberry and cassis, eucalyptus, cola spices and faint notes of leather and graphite. It has a supple weight and generous purple berries and spice flavours. Wonderful levity having a few years under its belt - a wine that is all in check and a pleasure to drink.

Hollick Old Vines Cabernet Sauvignon, Coonawarra, Limestone Coast, Australia
Readers rated this wine:
Earthy, savoury, fresh.
A boutique winery located in the famed Coonawarra, in the Limestone Coast Wine Zone of South Australia, Hollick produces wines only from estate-grown fruit. Coonawarra is recognized as one of Australia's finest wine regions and is particularly known for Cabernet Sauvignon, which responds exceptionally well in its red terra rossa soils over limestone. Pure underground water and a long cool ripening season for the grapes produce wines of elegance and longevity.
This old vines Cab shows distinct aromas: green olives in brine and tomato leaf, black currents and damson plum, peppercorns, boxwood and brown spices with undertone of iron and band-aid.
It has texture and notably savoury flavours--molasses and salted licorice, coffee, dark chocolate and wild berries. Good suppleness here and oodles of acidity to keep it fresh.
Pairs great with Gone Crackers Canadian Chedder & Chive
