Raats Dolomite Cabernet Franc (2021) Stellenbosch, South Africa

Cabernet Franc with a little Malbec from Stellenbosch’s decomposed dolomite granite soils. Cherry and dark berries with herbs, spice and the little bit of green character that makes Cabernet Franc interesting in the first place. Fresh and savory rather than big, with 14 months in neutral French oak.
