Critics Ratings

'Rustenberg's top red is a pure Cabernet Sauvignon that comes from a single block on the Simonsberg. Not made in either 2014 or 2016 - buy this now if you're a fan - it's a serious, ambitious red with cassis, cigar box and dark plum flavours and layers of ageworthy tannins. 2020-28.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2018, 93/100.

'It has more finesse and complexity than the John X Merriman, featuring blackberry, briar and bilberry fruit mixed with mint and cedar. The palate is well balanced with a grippy entry, nicely judged acidity and a lightly spiced, mint- and clove-infused finish, but it is clearly Rustenberg's best offering this vintage.' - Neal Martin, Vinous 90/100 (Aug 2018)
