Anthony took us to the tasting room in their Cellar to taste the Hamilton Russell line of wines. This is why you come down to this region, the Pinot Noirs. They are Burgundian in style. Nice red and blue fruits with very gentle wood use and about 13% ABV. Quite enjoyable. Photos of; the Hamilton Russell Vineyard, Anthony’s pouring our tasting, barrels around our tasting, and a long view of their property and house on the hilltop.

Smoke, camp fire, leather, and then some fruit flavors. Distinctly South African. Distinctly delicious. Note to self: Hamilton Russell becoming favorite S. African producer.
