title: Meerlust 2004 Rubicon Red (Stellenbosch)
description: Intense, lingering aromas and flavors give this wine—a combination of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc—a memorable edge. On the nose, a combination of savory spice and dark plum and chocolate lead, while the palate is rife with earthy spice, mint, cocoa and smoke. Complex but balanced and traditional, the wine will age well and pair well with complex, robust dishes.
variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
designation: Rubicon
