Critics Ratings

'Tall, dark and handsome in refined house style, 2012 shows minty notes with a piquant flavour profile lifted by 11% aromatic Cabernet Franc. Spicy oak (60% new) focuses the mineral centre.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2015, 4.5*

'There was no Meerlust Merlot in 2011, so this is a welcome return of a style that the winery makes as well as almost anyone in Stellenbosch. It's a highly perfumed style, with aromas of truffle, green leaves and wild mushroom and a sweet core of berry fruit.' - Tim Atkin SA Special Report 2015, 91/100
