Meerlust Rubicon Red Wine 2021 (750 ml) Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes For Meerlust Rubicon Red Wine 2021

A prestigious red wine from the Meerlust Estate in Stellenbosch, South Africa. Crafted from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, this wine showcases a deep garnet color and reveals complex aromas of blackcurrant, cigar box, and a hint of chocolate. On the palate, it offers a full-bodied and velvety texture, with flavors of dark berries, cedar, and a well-integrated oak influence. The wine's refined tannins and a long, elegant finish demonstrate the exceptional quality of Stellenbosch winemaking.

Critic Ratings

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate Review - Rated 93:

This is a wine with a long and beloved following that was first made in 1980. The Meerlust 2021 Stellenbosch Rubicon is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Dark fruit layers are interwoven with grilled herb and earthy tones, supported by firm tannins and a notably lean mouthfeel. The estate’s gravelly, granite-derived soils naturally emphasize freshness and tension, giving Rubicon its classical frame, even in riper vintages.

Wine Spectator Review - Rated 91:
Chock-full of blackberry and cassis, this red features tobacco and black tea aromas, along with an elegant, earthy character reminiscent of kiln-dried clay. Generous on the palate and supported by fine tannins, this moves through the long finish, decorated with iron. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2033.
