Raats
Stellenbosch Cabernet Franc
Stellenbosch, Coastal Region, Western Cape, South Africa
Medium mix of garnet and ruby red with light sediment. A touch of greenery on the nose, less than expected for a Raats. Notes of chalk, dark spices and red berries too. Medium tannins (6/10) and medium bodied. Very dry with flavors of cherries, spices, and some earthiness. Long and dry finish. Drink till 2019.

Deep garnet to medium ruby red. Strong bell pepper on the attack of the nose with some perfumey, a touch stinky and some minerality. Moderate tannins (6.5/10) and medium bodied. Layers of red cherries, gravel, dust, chalk and a touch herbaceous. Medium plus finish. Drinking well right now and will drink well for the next couple years. Drink till 2019.

Nov 24th, 2013Not a typical cabfranc taste at all. Maybe due to South African region. Very jammy not pleasant to the palate with or without food
