Rust en Vrede Estate Stellenbosch 2018

Fresh and focused, this medium- to full-bodied red features fragrant bay leaf and black pepper notes that accent ripe red currant and raspberry fruit, with hints of loamy earth and mandarin orange peel. Sleek and well-meshed, with fine-grained tannins emerging to firm the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Merlot. Drink now through 2030. 5,800 cases made, 400 cases imported.
