Natalie's Score: 92/100

The 2019 Meerlust Red is a blend of 43% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 21% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. Fragrant with dark fruits and potpourri, the wine is dry, full-bodied, complex and concentrated with ripe plum, blackberry, black currant, cedar brush and Christmas cake spice with a toasty oak finish. Finishes long with vibrant acidity and pleasantly chewy tannins. Drink or cellar for eight-plus years.

Food pairings: lamb kebabs, grilled strip loin steaks, venison sausage.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
