The 2018 McHenry Hohnen ‘Rolling Stone’, crafted by Dave Hohnen and team in Margaret River, Western Australia, is a compelling field-blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Malbec that marries depth with finesse. Aromas of blackcurrant, plum, cedar, and dried herb emerge gracefully. The palate displays layered dark fruit, tobacco leaf, graphite and spice, supported by fine, velvety tannins and vibrant acidity. A chalky mineral thread adds structure through a long, savoury finish. Medium-bodied yet elegantly concentrated, it reflects meticulous vineyard selection and minimal intervention. While formal scores are pending, it’s already garnering acclaim for its regional clarity and wine-elegant intensity.
