Meerlust Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

4 ½ Stars 2022 Platter’s South African Wine Guide

18 (93 pts) well-crafted with familiar ripe blackberry fruit, gentle succulence & balanced freshness from both acidity & vibrant, dense tannins. Polish of 70% new French oak adds class. Time will round & develop this youngster.

Vineyards on shale and alluvial soils supply the grapes for this varietal Cabernet Sauvignon. Firm, dense and concentrated, it’s very much a reflection of the dry 2018 vintage, with serious, slightly gruff tannins, ripe mulberry and Christmas cake flavours and some underlying backbone and structure. 2024-30
