Rustenberg John X Merriman 2022

This red blend from Rustenberg is a classic example of the Stellenbosch terroir. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, it is a powerful expression of both the varietals. On the nose, the wine has aromas of dark cherry, blackberry, and currant with a hint of anise. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with a well-structured tannic backbone. Flavors of dark fruit and earthy spices are well balanced with a lingering finish.
