Best Poujeaux I’ve tasted so far! Sun dried tomatoes, clove, white pepper. All kinds herbs, like thyme and oregano. Licorice. Nice woodsy tones emerge at the end. Ripe but restrained. This is beautiful stuff. — a day ago

What a beauty. I bought this a few years ago at a bargain basement price and put it in the back of the cellar and forgot about it. I wish I had another one. This wine is gorgeous. A classic mature Bordeaux at its peak. This wine can easily stretch it out for another decade. Notes of cedar and tobacco — a month ago

Light pink color. Smells like peaches and strawberries. Flavors are great. Tart and full of depth. Dry and elegant. — 8 days ago

Cheers to the wines of South Africa 🇿🇦

This Hamilton Russell Pinot Noir is unique in that the grapes used to produce it primarily came, not from Hamilton Russell vineyards, but rather from neighboring vignerons.

Hamilton Russell made this unprecedented decision in the aftermath of devastating wild fires that imparted smoke taint to its estate-grown grapes. Unwilling to compromise on quality, I applaud Hamilton Russell for its tenacity and willingness to forge ahead to create this delicious Pinot Noir for its customers. 👏👏👏

This wine is comprised of fruit hailing from three different Hemel-en-Aarde (aptly meaning “heaven and earth”) Wards within the Walker Bay District, in the Cape South Coast Region of South Africa’s Western Cape.

This wine is a reflection of community, camaraderie, and commitment to excellence.❤️

👁 It is medium ruby with pale fuchsia rim variation.

👃 On the nose this wine has a medium(+) intensity of youthful aromas. The aromas include candied cherry, strawberry rhubarb preserves, violet, dried orange peel, white pepper, star anise, clove, and nutmeg.

👄 On the palate this wine is dry. It has medium(+) acidity, a medium body, medium alcohol, medium tannins, and medium intensity of flavors consistent with the nose. This wine has a medium finish.

Really smart, dry and light colour with red currant and a bit of strawberry on the nose. Very refreshing. — 11 days ago

Prefect with Memorial Day weekend ribs - structure with plump expressive personality, showing ripe and dried raspberry and blackberries, meaty with bacon fat and crushed rock tones that glide on the long finish toward vibrant tannins — 13 days ago

A light and refreshing rosé that impersonates a slightly pricier wine. Strawberries, white peach, fruit loops, and red apple peels, with some tropical fruits in the finish. — 16 days ago

Creamed corn pudding, corn nuts, lemongrass, vanilla, caramel, polished brass, lemon curd and apricot danish; a little clumsy, but what it lacks in finesse it makes up for in flavor. — 13 days ago
