Boekenhoutskloof Cabernet Sauvignon Stellenbosch

The nose is complex and alluring, offering red currant, black cherry and red plum aromas with whiffs of Herbes de Provence, Cape fynbos and clay dust. The red stone fruit of the nose follows through with flavors of youngberry, boysenberry, and notes of lead pencil, pipe tobacco, and tea leaf on a smooth palate. Fine-grained powdery tannins contribute to a certain nervosité on the mid-palate, juxtaposed against the opulence of fragrant fruit, firm acidity and smoky cedarwood undertones from integrated French oak. Vibrant berry fruit persists on a clean, focused finish.
