Description
Hamilton Russell Pinot Noir from South Africa's Hemel-en-Aarde Valley arrives as the 2022 vintage, a wine built on the region's reputation for elegant, mineral-driven Pinots. The fruit was aged ten months in French oak (36% new), yielding just under 20,000 bottles.
The wine opens with succulent dark red cherries and a floral potpourri quality, backed by wild herb and turned earth notes that suggest cool-climate precision. On the palate it's medium-bodied and firmly tannic, with black raspberry at its core and a spicy undercurrent that speaks to the oak's influence. Seductive florals thread through the finish, which stays food-friendly and dry. This is a Pinot built for the table rather than the glass alone.

Expert Reviews
Popping out of the glass with succulent dark red cherries and fresh potpourri essence, the 2022 Pinot Noir bursts with notes of wild herbs and turned earth. 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. Just under 20,000 bottles were filled after 10 months of barrel aging in 36% new French oak.
