Raats
Stellenbosch Cabernet Franc
Stellenbosch, Coastal Region, Western Cape, South Africa
Deep ruby red with garnet edges. Quite a bit of greenery on the nose with some earthiness as well as a touch of cherries and perfume. Medium plus tannins (7/10) and medium plus body. Very young overall with notes of dark berries, chalk, earthiness and spices. Dry and long finish. Drink till 2028.
