The Boekenhoutskloof Franschhoek Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 is crafted from carefully selected grapes across multiple parcels, reflecting the distinct terroir of the Franschhoek valley. This wine presents a complex profile with notes of dark fruit, herbal undertones and a subtle hint of oak. The tannins are firm, offering structure and longevity. It pairs well with hearty dishes such as grilled lamb and rich stews. Helmed by Marc Kent, Boekenhoutskloof, named after the indigenous Boekenhout tree, is one of the most respected names in South African wine.

Cabernet Sauvignon

94 Robert Parker

The Boekenhoutskloof 2022 Franschhoek Cabernet Sauvignon is cut with a small 15% Cabernet Franc and sees almost all (90%) new oak. The grapes come from a vineyard site fitted into a narrow ravine, and it gets quite cool at night and very hot during the day. The area requires a longer ripening period because more shade is thrown by the nearby mountains in Stellenbosch. Meanwhile, the False Bay side of the vineyard is influenced by ocean weather patterns, and there are extreme temperature drops or diurnal shifts. The soils are very old with decomposed quartz. This wine is soft, round and very pleasurable with lots of heft and flavor on the mid-palate. There is a hint of dried spice and sweet cinnamon. Both these Cabernet Sauvignons promise long cellar aging. In fact, the winery has a late-release program, and I believe they are pouring the 2001 right now.

88 Vinous

The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Franschhoek is vinified in exactly the same way as its Stellenbosch counterpart, with a proportion of Cabernet Franc (14%) and just a little more oak. This has more black and blue fruit and is perhaps more floral in style, almost as if there were a soupçon of Syrah in the blend (there isn`t). The palate is medium-bodied with dark red berry fruit interlaced with cocoa, dark chocolate and light tobacco notes of fine length. It will need, say, six months in bottle once released in 2025.
