Boekenhoutskloof Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon

The nose is opulent, rich and enticing with intense aromas of fresh plums, black cherries and hints of chalk and churned soil. Whiffs of both herbaceousness and savoury spiciness contribute to its complexity. Flavours of blackcurrant, blueberries and boysenberry dominate a focused, brooding palate. The wine has soft, velvety, cocoa-powdery tannins with balanced, integrated acidity and the supporting, judicious role of tight-grained French barrique adds to the classic character of this Cabernet Sauvignon with its earthy core and full, ripe, dark mid-palate. The wine has a plummy, juicy finish with hints of rosemary and lingering Cape fynbos.
