Bottle of Raats Family Wines Eden High Density Single Vineyard Cabernet Franc

Tasting Notes

The nose shows lively dark berry fruit and Morello cherries with hints of star anise, ground fennel seeds and cedar. The wine is exceptionally linear and precise, yet lithe and elegant. The complex dark berry fruit follows through from nose to finish with a minerality that reflects the 100% decomposed dolomite granite of the soil. The wine is characterized by its amazing concentration derived from the extremely low yielding single vineyard.

Food Pairing

Loin of venison / ostrich carpaccio / beef fillet with a red wine reduction / duck breast with plum sauce
