Yeah yeah yeah, the World Cup will be in South Africa for the next month. Big Deal.
One of the oldest and best wineries in South Africa is Rust en Vrede. Their flagship wine, among many, is the Estate wine. A blend of roughly 60 Cabernet Sauvignon, 30 Shiraz and 10 Merlot, this complex and flavorful wine was tasty with tonight's steak. In comparing the 2003 vs. 2004, the 03 was softer and easier to drink and enjoy tonight. The 04 had much more tannic structure and will continue to develop over the next 5 years. Each at $44.99, drink the 03, cellar the 04.
Really want to try this wine again with a lamb dinner.
