About this Item
Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
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
'Powerful, intense, bold and concentrated. The 2005 is still in early stages of development, showing a lot of primary pure fruit and spice, and impressively robust grip. Black coffee, cocoa, plums, olive dust. While it's clearly ripe and full-bodied, it also possesses the typical elegance and balance from this producer that is a hallmark of all the wines. Drink 2022 onwards.' - Higgo Jacobs 2020, 96/100
'A refined racy style, with a mix of red currant, blackberry and fig fruit pushed by a briary undertow, while mineral, cedar and fresh espresso notes check in on the juicy finish.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (2008)
