Brampton, Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot, Stellenbosch South Africa 2001
Brampton is Rustenberg's second label and emphasizes a soft and easily accessible range of wines. Grapes are specifically selected from vineyards on the Simonsberg and Helderberg slopes. Emphasis is on rich wines, with intense fruit and friendly oak tannins providing depth and power. Rustenberg has a wine-growing history dating back to 1682, when Roelof Pasman from Meurs, near the Rhine, recognized its wine-growing potential. By 1781 3 000 cases of wine were produced on the farm. Wine has been bottled at this cellar for an unbroken period since 1892.
This South African wine is straightforward but delicious, displaying pure fruit and mocha flavors, good density and length. It has deep, dark, rich plum and wild blackberry flavors with a little smoky, leather and chocolate tang at the end.
As good as a lot of California Cabernets that cost twice as much.
6 bottles $82.00
