2010 Hamilton Russell Pinot Noir "Hemel en Aarde"
 Winery: Hamilton Russell Vintage: 2010 Wine Name/Vineyard: "Hemel en Aarde" Wine Category: Pinot Noir Grape blend: 100% Pinot Noir Region: Hemel en Aarde State or country: South Africa Price: $44 Cases produced: 1,000 KWG Score: 91.5 (based on 2 reviews) Ken's Wine Rating: Very Good+ (91) Review date: September 28, 2012 Wine Review: This Pinot Noir from South Africa is consistently the leading Pinot from that country. The 2010 is ruby red colored and opens with a strawberry and mild old oak bouquet. The flavor profile is a very tasty smoky oak infused plum with a hint of mild anise. The finish is dry and its moderate tannins are rather sticky for a Pinot. I would pair this Old-World styled Pinot with sage and thyme seasoned pork tenderloin. Enjoy – Ken Winemaker Notes: Our Pinot Noir is not overtly fruity, soft and "sweet" and it generally shows hints of that alluring savoury "primal" character along with a dark, spicy, complex primary fruit perfume. Organic status: not organic Ken on Google+ Buy it: Use 1000 Corks to find stores that sell Hamilton Russell 2010 Pinot Noir.
