Few wines have done more to define modern South African fine wine than Meerlust’s Rubicon. First produced in 1980, it was a bold statement: a Cabernet-led Bordeaux blend from Stellenbosch that could stand beside the greats of the Old World. Today, it's a benchmark South African blend that has proved it can age 20 years or more. With savory tannins and classic hints of kirsch, tobacco and eucalyptus, it continues to encapsulate the best of Stellenbosch.

Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

"The 2020 Rubicon is composed mainly of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot in lesser proportions. The wine marks a triumphant return, after no Rubicon was released in 2019. The wine is densely fruit-forward, tightly wound and dusty, with clean aromatics that round out its robust character. It features a balanced, elegantly powerful palate with refreshing tannins and consistent acidity that keeps everything in check. The finish is notably food friendly, echoing with nuances of lead pencil. After eight months in the barrel, the components were blended and aged for an additional 10 months in barrels. This is a production of 120,000 bottles." -Anthony Mueller

"A fragrant red, with dried mint, bay leaf and cigar box notes wafting through the ripe black currant, hot stone and apple wood smoke. This is long and well-meshed, layering the creamy profile with sculpted tannins and balsamico acidity. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2035."
