Pinot Noir, Hamilton Russel, Eola, OR, 2019

Maintaining a lighter approach to Pinot Noir, this South African producer has made an elegant wine in 2019, with bright raspberry fruit in a tangle of fresh herbs. It's circled with lemon zest and has the subtle power of a fine village Burgundy. Ageworthy for certain and should benefit from another three to five years of bottle development.
