Andreq
Rich, full-bodied wine with a deep, deep color and a complex, layered profile. The profiles of black cherry, blackberry, and forest floor are cohesive by toasted oak and a trace of green bell pepper, all held together by a firm, tannic structure. The ending is long and satisfying, with a lingering dryness that leaves the palate feeling refreshed.
Mashoto
The full-bodied Bordeaux blend from South African Meerlust Estate in Stellenbosch exudes a rich, supple grip with a deep, burnt orange hue. The nose is controlled by by intense plum, blackcurrant, and smoke notes, whereas the sensation is recognized by intense oak, smoky undertones, and rough, rough cigar-like textures. The tannins are pronounced, but the aftertaste is surprisingly brief, leaving only a faint echo of pepper and mild licorice. The acidity is notably lower than anticipated, more akin to a steady level than the significantly higher offering displayed in the tasting notes. The altogether mark is that this wine was best appreciated when served chilled and enjoyed alone, a testament to its refined, understated elegance.

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.
