'If the 2010 vintage of the Bordeaux-style Rubicon from Meerlust in Stellenbosch presented as excessively green, the 2012 seems more on point. A blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot, the wine was matured for 20 months in French oak, 65% new. It shows more red than black fruit and attractive oak-derived notes. There is some pyrazine character in evidence, but this presents as a subtle and winning leafiness. Unapologetically old school in style, it’s medium to full-bodied with fresh acidity and fine tannins. It should keep the classicists happy.' - WineMag, 90/100 (Tasted in 2016)

| Producer information | Meerlust Estate, owned by the Myburgh family, has been in the family for eight generations. Located 5km from False Bay, the property was given the name 'Meerlust' from the original owner, which means 'pleasure of the sea'. The Meerlust name is synonymous with tradition, elegance and longevity. In fact, it was their Cabernet Sauvignon, produced since 1975, that was the first to carry the Meerlust label. |
