2007 Rustenberg Syrah Stellenbosch

Community Tasting Note

90 Points

Sunday, December 26, 2010 - This is a vibrant, compact CS, with mineral and leather notes, but also with a lively core of bright fruit. No obvious oak make this an elegant, rather complex and quite serious Cabernet. Beautifully made.

Based on the "mineral and leather" descriptor, it could have been the cab, but "lively core of bright fruit" leads me to think it may have been a Syrah! Probably a cab since I referred to that twice in my notes. I guess we'll never know for sure...
