Boekenhoutskloof Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 is a concentrated red wine with a nose of blackberries and blueberries, heightened by aromas of tobacco and spices. On the palate, the wine is full and well-rounded, with hints of cassis, blackcurrants and cedar wood. Aged in French oak barrels for 18 months, it strikes a perfect balance between fruit and acidity, with an impressive lingering finish.

The 2016 Boekenhoutskloof Franschhoek Cabernet Sauvignon comes from four adjacent vineyards and one Cabernet Franc parcel, matured in 100% new French barriques for 18 months and the Cabernet Franc barrel-fermented. It has a lifted bouquet, very Left Bank in style, revealing a touch of mint with time. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin and a sprinkling of black pepper, and just a little more delineation on the finish than the Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon. A steadfast, trustworthy Cabernet Sauvignon that should give a decade of drinking pleasure. Neal Martin1st August 2018
