Boekenhoutskloof was established in 1776. Located in the furthest corner of the beautiful Franschhoek valley, the farm?s name means ?ravine of the Boekenhout? (pronounced Book-n-Howed). Boekenhout is an indigenous Cape Beech tree greatly prized for furniture making. In 1993 the farm and homestead was bought and restored and a new vineyard planting programme was established that now includes Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Grenache, Semillon and Viognier.

Tasting Notes
The 2014 Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon is Helderberg fruit and includes one block of Cabernet Franc close to the winery (8% of the blend). It was matured in 60% new barriques for around 18 months and offers attractive blackberry, sage and sandalwood aromas on the nose, which is nicely focused and delineated. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, plenty of black fruit laced with black pepper, though I felt that there was a touch of jarring greenness on the finish (perhaps from the Cabernet Franc) that just knocks it a little of balance. Let?s see how this shows in a year.
