Raats Family Cabernet Franc 2009
tasting notes
This sexy, uber-elegant Cabernet Franc shows the stunning heights this grape can attain! It combines a core of luscious blackberry, black cherry, and plum with expressive notes of cinnamon, tobacco, coffee, and spice. Silky tannins caress the palate, and hints of dark chocolate and a great minerality. This wine has a long and supple finish.

ageing potential
7 - 10 years (2016 to 2019) or longer with proper storage.
