Rainbow's End Cabernet Franc review





















































2006 Rainbow’s End Banhoek Stellenbosch Cabernet Franc 83 Points

Clear, ripe red berries, cherry wood with nutmeg spices, minty freshness, good complexity, juicy round tannins, delicate, savoury texture, lovely food wine. Now until 2012

2007 Rainbow’s End Banhoek Stellenbosch Cabernet Franc 85 Points

Ruby cherry red, with slight tobacco rim, textbook Cabernet Franc, floral and perfume with cassis and hints of herbal note, peppery, complex melange of red berry such as cassis and notes of nutmeg dust, ripe delicate tannins, intense mouth filling structure, dense fruit still integrating, has some savoury spicy notes, “Old Cape” style ripeness, earthy notes predominates and adds charming interest, has elegance and good freshness

From July 2010 until end 2013.

One of the best priced Cabernet Franc of South Africa, to discover and follow.
