This wine is named for the leather tanning pits which were dug into the Terra Rossa soil last Century on the original Hollick property in Coonawarra. It was here that the Hollick family planted Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot, two classic grape varieties which when blended, create a great fabulous food wine. The combination of old vines, a relatively cool climate & the unique soils of the vineyards, produces distinctive & impressively intense Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot. Coonawarra experienced optimum conditions during the 2008 growing season. Early spring rains after a dry winter promoted excellent budburst & flowering. The cool conditions in February allowed good flavour development before the heat of March hastened the ripening. Yields were marginally below the average, with the fruit showing intense colour & rich ripe flavours. In the winery, the grapes were handled carefully to retain the fruit flavours developed in the vineyard. Partial barrel fermentation followed by 18 months maturation in a combination of French & American oak barrels, has given the 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot an elegant structure & a long finish. Appearance: Bright ruby red with violet hues at the rim. Aromas: Cabernet Sauvignon aromas of blackcurrants & mulberries are complimented by the softer Merlot notes of violets, plums & dark chocolate. Flavours: A seamless & complex Coonawarra Cabernet Merlot blend showing blackberry, cassis, choc mint, & plums with finely integrated oak.

The best parcels of Cabernet Sauvignon from the Hollick vineyards are earmarked for Ravenswood & experience tells us that this fruit will typically come from the oldest vines growing in the very shallow terra rossa soil over limestone on the Wilgha & Neilson's Block vineyards. These vineyards are linked by Ravenswood Lane. Early spring rains in Coonawarra after a dry winter promoted excellent budburst & flowering. The cool conditions in February allowed good flavour development before the heat of March hastened ripening. The vintage yields were below average, with the fruit showing intense colour & rich ripe flavours. The grapes were picked at optimum flavour & tannin development & balanced natural acidity.
