Meerlust Rubicon

Cabernet Sauvignon/Cabernet Franc/Merlot/Petit Verdot. 2017. 14% ABV.

Stellenbosch, South Africa

Tasting notes: Very deep, youthful colour, and intense almost purple hue. Quintessential Rubicon nose with violets, ripe plum, cedar wood, fennel and intense spiciness. A typical liquorice note also evident on the nose. Still young and intense, promising further maturation potential. The palate is full bodied, structured but packed with fresh dark fruit and rounded, linear tannins promising long beneficial maturation. A stand out vintage of Rubicon displaying all the charm of a perfect vintage from mature vines.
