Boekenhoutskloof-Cabernet-Sauvignon---Franschhoek
Boekenhoutskloof Cabernet Sauvignon - Franschhoek
Roast beef, pork knuckle
The classic claret-like cassis, cedar and blackcurrant profile is typical of the 2005 Boekenhoutskloof Cabernet Sauvignon. With a richness of the mid-palate and layers of textural depth, which are bound together by complex tannins adding a level of austerity to the wine. The structure and firm acidity suggest this wine has at least a decade of ageing potential.
The name "Boekenhoutskloof" comes from the Cape beech, or Kaapse boekenhout, a tree indigenous to Franschhoek and once used by the Cape Dutch for furniture making. It is pronounced, not easily, bok-un-hoatscloof. The winery''s white-washed, Dutch-style farmhouse, dated 1771, once stood in an orchard; pears still plump up in the trees around it.
