About this Item
2008 Merlot

Having produced Cabernet Sauvignon since 1975 and the Rubicon in 1980, after several years of experimentation with fellow winemaker Giorgio Dalla Cia, a single expression of Merlot became one of the Cape's best.

Critics Ratings
'Restrained, fine 2008 with a little Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc, back on track after 2007 (4 stars). Usual distinctive, classic styling gathers rich, dark fruit and fine tannins into a complete, harmonious whole.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2012, 4.5*
'Soft, full and juicy. Polished but youthful, and rather unrewarding to taste now, but should have a long future.' - Richard Hemming MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5+/20 (Feb 2012)
