Description
Meerlust Estate Rubicon, Stellenbosch , South Africa, 2018
Grapes: A blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc & 4% Petit Verdot with 18 months' ageing in large French oak. Fruit sourced from four estate sites: "Die Kop", River Terraces, Quarry and Lowlands.
A drought affected vintage. This is a wine that is more approachable in youth because of the ripeness and richness levels attained in 2018 but will provide great complexity with further maturation. Can age for 10 - 20 years, provided wine is stored in ideal cellar conditions.
Rated 95/100 points, Tim Atkin MW, March 2022
Great with venison, game, pot roast and noble cheeses.
