Is Cabernet Sauvignon a good wine?
What reviewers say
“In 1978 Giorgio Dalla Cia joined Meerlust as Cellarmaster, alongside renowned winemaker Nico Myburgh, who took charge of this centuries old family owned estate in 1959.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
The wine has a deep, opaque plum-black appearance, very bright and youthful. The nose exhibits lifted cassis, plum and mineral notes with intense stony and graphite aromas. The palate is full yet elegant where the bouquet follows through and the intensity of fruit is balanced by a vibrant acidity and sleek, polished tannins. The palate is lingering and finishes clean with lingering dark fruit flavours. Elegant, well structured, with a long lingering finish.
From Stellenbosch in South Africa, Meerlust Cabernet Sauvignon is a red.
