Tasting notes
The 2019 Holy Roller, a limited production blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Sangiovese, bursts from the glass with a wickedly fresh and perfumed mix of dusty dried violets, black raspberries and exotic spice. This enters the palate silky and cooling, slowly building in saline-mineral concentration with every passing moment. A grippy wall of tannin lingers, as wild blueberry and herbal tones slowly fade. This is such a pretty yet also powerful style of The Rocks District fruit. Be aware that there are only 75 cases of this beauty to go around.

Lastly, the 2019 Holy Roller is an interesting blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Sangiovese that was brought up all in once-used barrels. Blueberries, violets, iron, leafy herbs, and spicy oak notes all emerge on the nose, and it's complex and full-bodied, with a rich, mouth-filling style, ample tannins, and a great finish. It's another remarkable wine from this team that continues to make brilliant wine.
