About this Item

2015 CWG Cabernet Sauvignon
6 (1 x 6) 750ml

Boekenhoutskloof, located in the Franschhoek valley, was established in 1776 and gets its name 'Boekenhout' from an indigenous Beech tree. Boekenhoutskloof, managed by Marc Kent, describes themself as a Syrah specialist. Their efforts in conservation can be seen through initiatives they have taken-on in their farm and surrounding areas. They are also a founding member of the Franschhoek Mountain Conservancy.

After many years of absence from the Guild Auction, I decided upon a Cabernet Sauvignon from the spectacular 2015 vintage as a reserve selection Cabernet for the Auction.

Tasting Notes: Claret-like in character with black fruit and graphite on the nose, very fine tannins and a certain nervosité on the palate - a textured wine with classic length already in place. - Cape Winemakers Guild Auction 2017.
