Meerlust Rubicon 2021

Meerlust Rubicon is celebrated for its rich, full-bodied character, with notes of black fruit, plum, and oak. While many appreciate its complexity and aging potential, some find it over-oaked or lacking in finesse. The wine's smooth tannins and long finish are consistently praised, though opinions on its value vary. Overall, it's a well-regarded choice for those seeking a robust, classic Bordeaux-style blend.

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.
