The 2020 Boekenhoutskloof The Chocolate Block is a South African red wine made primarily from the Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault, Cabernet Sauvignon and Viognier grape varieties.
The wine has an intense ruby red color and a complex and sophisticated aroma with notes of plums, berries, chocolate, spices and smoky tones. On the palate it is full and full-bodied with fine tannins and a pleasant acidity that gives it good structure and longevity.
