Boekenhoutskloof Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

The Wine Advocate
RP 93

Anthony Mueller: The Franschhoek Cabernet Sauvignon 2020, predominantly composed of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Cabernet Franc, presents a profile characterized by juicy red fruits, with woody nuances and hints of cereal grains, as well as notes of plum and cherry skin. This full-bodied wine offers a balanced palate, displaying layers of complexity and ripe flavors. It is supported by well-balanced tannins and vibrant acidity, which begins to firm up as the wine reaches a refined finish with mineral touches. It promises to pair excellently with a variety of dishes and will continue to evolve gracefully over the years. It was aged for 22 months, 80% of that time in new French oak barrels. Exactly 14,391 bottles were produced.

James Suckling: Inviting aromas of blackcurrant, graphite, rosemary and tobacco leaf. Full-bodied, with silky tannins. Well-defined, with black fruits and translucent wild berries. Mineral and herbaceous touches. Very well structured and typical of the variety. Sustainable. Best after 2024.
