About this Item
Boekenhoutskloof was established in 1776 and since it’s modern era makeover in 1993 it has been under the guidance of maverick spirit, Marc Kent. Unafraid to experiment with the unconventional, Marc is the chief winemaker and driving force behind the dynamic farm, co-founded by the similarly innovative late Tim Rands.
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
‘Light ruby centre with a garnet rim. Classic Cabernet, boasting an array of cassis, cedar wood, pencil lead and sweet bell peppers. At the ideal 20 year mark, this wine is offering tons of pleasure and lots of life and elegance. The tannins are mature, but still offers the finest of grips to the finish’. – Higgo Jacobs 2020, 95/100
‘The medium to dark ruby-colored 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon is restrained when compared to the more expressive 1999 (rated 91 in Issue #140). That being said, this pencil lead and cassis-scented offering wows the taster with its impressive depth of fruit, purity, and refinement. Loads of sweet black currants and blackberries are intermingled with toasted oak in this outstanding wine's character. This noteworthy value is medium-bodied, satin-textured, deep, complex, and exhibits a long, fruit-filled, lush finish.' - Wine Advocate – 91/100
