Does EF Core SaveChanges validate against the data annotations

I have a model with Data Annotations and I was wondering if it was possible to have the SaveChanges method fail if the Data Annotation failed?

I was expecting SaveChanges to throw an exception along the lines of "Test2 is outside the Range of 2 to 4". Instead, it saves into the database.

For example, here's my test entity:

public class Visit
{
    public int Id { get; set; }

    [MaxLength(2)]
    public string Test { get; set; }

    [Range(2, 4)]
    public int Test2 { get; set; }
}

Here's the Context:

public class Context : DbContext
{
    public Context()
    {

    }

    public Context(DbContextOptions<Context> options)
            : base(options)
    {
    }

    public DbSet<Visit> Visits { get; set; }
}

And here's the very simple MVC Controller method that I'm using to test it with:

public HomeController(Context context)
    {
        context.Visits.Add(new Visit() {Test = "21", Test2 = 3423});
        var results = context.SaveChanges();
    }

Here's my project.json file:
