Excellent Cabernet Sauvignon, nicely balanced and not overpowering, although somewhat boring. Standard Cabernet flavor with an acidic finish. — a month ago
The 2015 Hamilton Russell Estate Chardonnay is a splendid wine, even if this bottle has been carted around several houses and varying temperatures since I bought it on release. It’s a lesson in proper storage: the colour is of a wine much older than this and it’s dramatically different to my experience with it on last tasting around two years ago. Nonetheless, it’s a very well-made wine and it shows.
There’s baked apple, pastry, burnt butter, butterscotch and coconut on the nose, while the rich, saturated palate offers apple, butter, honeydew melon, a honeyed edge and Meyer lemon acidity. A creamy mouthfeel completes the harmony. — 2 months ago
Jammy nose or raspberry and blackberry. On the palate, more jam, but there's a lot more here. Nutmeg, white pepper, tomato plant, tobacco, bacon, and leather. Quite a pleasing expression held together with that Viognier. Medium-bodied with some light tannin and a lingering pepper note on the finish with the pepper. For me, this is an ideal wine to pair with dinner sausages. I almost want to "forget" a box of this in the cellar for a couple of years to see where this goes. Amazing when you can do this with a cheapie wine. — 12 days ago

A stunning blend from South Africa. Gives off a fresh orchard on a sunny day minerality and it’s beautifully rounded on its delightfully acid edges. It has a beautiful herbaceous quality supporting notes of tart green apple, citrus and pomelo. — 13 days ago
