About this Item

Rubicon 2016
6 (1 x 6) 750ml
Meerlust is one of South Africa's most historic estates, in the Myburgh family for eight generations, on the cool, maritime flats near False Bay in Stellenbosch. Rubicon, first made in 1980, is its pioneering Bordeaux-style blend and one of the Cape's most iconic reds. The 2016 is a graceful, Old-World-styled vintage. Wine Spectator gave it a rating of 90.

Critics Ratings

"Very Old World in style, with a graceful profile and mouthwatering acidity standing firmly behind notes of cherry, savory mineral, rose hip and rosemary. Supple tannins create good harmony and give this more muscle. Needs a bit more time, but well-executed. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot." - Wine Spectator, 90/100 (Apr 2020)
