2005 Hamilton-Russell, Pinot Noir, Walker Bay, South Africa (750ml)
South Africa (Red)
Wine Advocate: - Wine Spectator: 91
Tasting notes
"91 out of 100...Pure and ripe, this is filled with textbook Pinot notes of crushed cherry, currant, spice and forest floor. Has a silky texture, with a long, minerally finish that shows nice grip. Drink now through 2010. 5,380 cases made." - WS
 
"90 out of 100...Medium red. Complex nose melds bitter cherry, minerals, tobacco, leather and rose petal. Dense, sweet and suave, with a saline quality and good sappiness to the flavors of wild red berries, minerals, earth and blood orange. Chewy, dusty, fairly fine tannins and firm acidity give grip to the finish of this broad, savory, singular pinot noir. Distinctly Burgundian in its complexity and elegance; a second bottle I tasted chez moi held its own alongside a flight of 2004 Clos Vougeots." - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
