"Hamilton Russell Vineyards in South Africa has developed an international reputation over 40 vintages for unusually restrained, classically styled Pinot noir, with deep structure and spice balancing fruit opulence. Hamilton Russell Oregon aims to express this stylistic philosophy with the very best Willamette Valley fruit - showcasing the restrained, structured classicism of great European Pinot noir and the bright purity of Oregon fruit. The celebrated Bramble Hill vineyard in Ribbon Ridge, delivers a particularly bright, pure, lively minerality to complement the complex lifted fruit the best Oregon Pinot noir is known for." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"Deep, vivid red. Powerful, mineral- and spice-tinged red berry and cherry qualities on the expressive nose, along with a sexy floral nuance that develops with air. Chewy and precise on the palate, offering energetic raspberry, cherry liqueur and cola flavors and an exotic hint of allspice. Finishes very long, spicy and tense, with discreet tannins that fold steadily into the wine's sappy fruit." —Vinous |
