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
'The 2003 still packs a lot of power and structure, with savoury, spicy impression on the palate that still shows a little sweetness from barrique influence and even tannic grip. While burly in its youth, this vintage really benefits from time in the bottle. Drink now through 2025.' - Higgo Jacobs 2020, 93/100
'Rock solid Cabernet, with black currant, blackberry and tobacco flavors supported by a loamy, ripe undertow. Nice mineral hint on the finish.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 90/100 (2005)
