Hamilton Russell Pinot Noir 2016 Hemel-en-Aarde

Hamilton Russell Pinot Noir 2016 Hemel-en-Aarde is single estate Pinot Noir at its best. Every year we taste the wines from Anthony and Olive Hamilton Russell with the previous vintage sitting as a benchmark and every year they seem to create something impressive enough to beat the previous effort. There are no second wines at Hamilton Russell, so all of the best grapes go into this one wine.

Red cherry, touches of tobacco, earthy and herbal. There is an energy to this wine that has made us put down a few cases to cellar.
