Tasting Note:February 3, 2016

Always a huge fan of Raats Cabernet Franc. Deep crimson red. Beautiful Cabernet Franc nose, with a ton of bell peppers to start. Followed by undertones of savory spices and herbs. Moderate tannins (6/10), with a moderate plus body that is quite furry on the tongue. Good weight on the body as it carries through till the mid palate. Moderate plus finish that the dryness lingers after the finish subsides. Great Cabernet Franc, as always one of our favorites!
