2017 Raats Jasper Red Blend Stellenbosch

Winemaker Notes

Intense and multifaceted on the nose with blackberry, black cherry and bramble in abundance and subtle hints of forest floor, dark chocolate, aniseed and spicy tobacco. The walk in the Black Forest continues with blue and blackberry dancing on a tight rope with focus and concentration, following through onto a perfectly balanced, fine grained, velvety palate. The finish lingers with hints of fresh mint, cinnamon and perfume. Complex and structured.

Blend: 48% Cabernet Franc, 36% Malbec, 9% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Merlot, 2% Petit Verdot
