Notes from the Winemaker:

Specializing in the production of red wine only, Rust en Vrede has established itself as one of South Africa's premium red wine estates. Full-bodied and complex, Rust en Vrede wines reflect the uniqueness of the Stellenbosch terroir. Rust en Vrede is proud to be part of a remarkable three hundred year old wine tradition and continues to pursue the excellence synonymous with wines produced by Stellenbosch's private estates.

Tasting notes:
Color: Opaque with a bright purple rim.
Aroma: Rhubarb and aniseed aromas are backed by cedar and a hint of cocoa powder. Dark cherry aromas are also prevalent.
Palate: A well structured Cabernet with beautiful grainy tannins. Full palate weight with notes of tobacco and licorice on the finish.
Ratings & Reviews:

91 Points - Wine Spectator Magazine:
"Dark, sleek and polished, with dense but pure black currant, licorice and roasted plum notes. Long and nicely detailed through the finish, with tobacco, black tea and roasted apple wood notes checking in. A rock-solid, lip-smacking good Cabernet. Drink now through 2013. 4,165 cases made." –JM (Sep 30, 2011)

91 Points - Wine Enthusiast Magazine:
"Intense and concentrated with thick notes of all-fruit preserves, tree bark, cigar leaf and old campfire throughout the nose and mouth. The velvety texture is amped up with assertive, lip-smacking tannins and a gripping finish that lingers endlessly. Hints of cassis skin and black tea astringency leave you primed for more." —L.B.  (11/1/2011)
