Product: 2022 Raats, Cabernet Franc Dolomite, Stellenbosch
“Dolomite is always the most floral and approachable of Bruwer Raats’ quartet of Cabernet Francs, aged in an equal combination of older oak and concrete. Tarragon, green pepper and graphite aromas are a scented prelude to a palate of tomato leaf and black cherry and a crunchy finish. 91 Points. Drink 2025-30” - Tim Atkin MW
