About this Item

Rubicon 1994
2 (1 x 2) 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 1994 is now fully mature. Bruce Sanderson reviewed it for Wine Spectator.

Critics Ratings

"This Bordeaux blend has softened slightly, offering mature flavors of cherry and chocolate with a hint of spice. Has the texture of crushed velvet, with firm, slightly coarse tannins." - Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator (Dec 1999)
