About this Item
The Boekenhoutskloof Cabernet is similarly revered as the Syrah as one of the top expressions from the Cape, both wines selling out annually on release. The success of this Franschhoek Cabernet has led to the introduction of a twin label in 2014 with fruit sourced from Stellenbosch.

Critics Ratings
'Blackcurrant, blackberries, cigar box, cocoa, with just a hint of garrigue and nutmeg developing in the glass. A classic and elegant expression of the vintage, the 2011 is still super youthful and while delicious now, will develop and improve in the cellar.' - Higgo Jacobs 2020, 94/100
'Don't let the sleek refinement here fool you-this is packed with currant, fig and blackberry fruit. The depth and power is harnessed by supple tannins, a singed mesquite note and an underlying sanguine edge on the finish. A beauty that should age nicely.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 93/100 (2015)
