Composed of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot, the Rubicon exhibits aromas of ripe blackberry and black currant, with hints of eucalyptus, mint and graphite. On the palate, it is rich and concentrated, with soft, ripe tannins and a persistent finish. Enjoy with grilled steak or pork chops.

Wine Expert Note:

Meerlust Rubicon is a deeply concentrated and structured South African red blend. It is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, sourced from the Stellenbosch region. On the nose, the wine displays aromas of dark fruits, cigar box, cedar and subtle hints of minerality. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and concentrated, with rich flavors of blackberry, dark cherry, cassis, and a hint of espresso. The tannins are firm and rounded, with a long and elegant finish. This is a complex and balanced red blend that will cellar beautifully for many years to come. Enjoy with roasted lamb, grilled steak, or a cheese platter.
