RATINGS

93+ The Wine Advocate

...succulent dark red cherries and fresh potpourri essence... Medium-bodied, the palate offers flavors of black raspberry with a firm-gripping tannic edge. It shows seductive florals with spicy flavors and ends with a food-friendly finish.

92James Suckling

This is a sleek pinot with notes of cloves, cranberries, thyme and raw mushrooms. Hints of iron. Medium-bodied, savory and nicely balanced, with fine-grained tannins.

92Wine Enthusiast

The nose opens with white pepper and nutmeg. An energized palate and tight tannins provide a good frame for strawberries, cherries and subtle dried herbs.

16.5Jancis Robinson

Quite ambitious, restrained nose. Slight perception of spritz on the palate and a little stern, definitely dry, on the end. Fine tannins.

PRODUCER

Hamilton Russell

Hamilton Russell Vineyards is in the cool, maritime appellation of Hemel-en-Arde, nestled behind a historic fishing village off the southern tip of South Africa. The estate was founded in 1975 by Tim Hamilton Russell, who bought nearly 450 acres. In 1994 Russell’s son Anthony Hamilton Russell purchased the property and decided to focus on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Today there are 125 vineyard acres dedicated to low-yield production of Burgundian style wines. Wine Spectator has written that Hamilton Russell Vineyards “has become a flag bearer for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from South Africa.”

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
