Notes on the Raats Cabernet Franc 750ML 2007

Tasting Notes Chosen by Jancis Robinson as one of her Cape favourite wines - November 20092010 John Platter - 4½ StarsMatthew Jukes' Top 50 from Cape Wine 2008 - February 20092009 John Platter - 4½ stars A sexy, luscious Cabernet Franc that is the definition of elegance. Harmoniously integrated flavours of blackberry, black cherry and plum mingle with tobacco, cinnamon and spice. Tannins are soft and gentle on the palate, and hints of dark choclate and minerality on the long finish. A wine gently crafted with great love, and to be enjoyed the same way. "I trembled with expectation when this wine was poured into my glass and then almost collapsed in joy when it gave me everything I was hoping for. Phew." - Matthew Jukes' Top 50 from Cape Wine 2008
