2018 | Rust en Vrede Estate Red | Stellenbosch Pierre Moncuit poached pears and peach syrup

poached pears and peach syrup lend an extra confectionary flair to the palate and lingering finish

One of the most powerful Moutons ever for me

with hints of grapefruit and other citrus fruits

pale yellow color

this palate-staining wine has a depth and concentration here balanced by bright and crunchy acidity we rarely see in Cabernet Franc

2018 | Rust en Vrede Estate Red | Stellenbosch Pierre Moncuit poached pears and peach syrupFresh 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. 92 Pts Wine Spectator
