2006 Hamilton Russell Vineyards Pinot Noir South Africa
14.0% alc., $28.
·
Deep reddish-purple in
color. The nose exhibits dark raspberry fruit, smoke, char and a hint of sulfur. Generous woody and
green flavors accompany a core of dark and chewy soil-dusted Pinot fruits. Fine-grain tannins create a
silky texture. A Nuits-St.-Georges-inspired wine with plenty of mother earth influence.
