About this Item
Cabernet Sauvignon 2006
6 (1 x 6) 750ml
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
'Leaner than the previous vintages, the 2006 is more capsicum and graphite, with steely, austere tannins. It also has wonderful purity and is by no means light, still offering generous fruit and palate access. Sufficient structure for further development.' - Higgo Jacobs 2020, 93/100
'Rich and muscular, but with plenty of precision to the cedar, espresso, macerated currant, tobacco and loam notes. The long, dense finish lets the fruit and grip hang together nicely. Built for the cellar.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (2009)
