9.7

Double blind wine tasting. 3 Whites and 3 Reds:

1. ‘18 Hamilton Russell Chard - WOTN across both whites and reds - complex, refined, fruit integrated with honey, oak, butter, cream, camomile.

2. ‘20 Hartenberg The Eleanor Chard - big wine that could use a few years. Nice fruit and lovely acidity. Mix between a White Burg and Rhone Blend.

3. ‘22 Far Niente Chard - potential, very young, not the best QPR. Reminded me of young Paul Hobbs single vineyard Chards.


1. ‘12 Giacomo Fenocchio 90 di Riserva Barolo - aged showed through nicely, but still lively with dark cherries and ample tannins.

2. ‘20 Vilafonte - decanted, but young and an absolutely massive wine. Black fruit, chewy, with decent sweetness.

3. ‘02 Origin Red Blend - nose of black tar and cigars. Zero fruit and big tar, tobacco, and bbq flavors. Bigger wine than I was expecting.

Great night with great friends!

Les Murgers des Dents de Chien Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Chardonnay 2017

very much on the side of Puligny. Opens with toast, vanilla and yellow flowers, with just ripe stone fruit and pleasant leesy character. On the pallet, it leads with grapefruit and more Okie complexity, with enough acidity and minerality able to support plenty of opulence without flopping — 9 months ago

Hamilton Russell Vineyards

Hemel-En-Aarde Valley Pinot Noir

Slightly heavier Pinot noir, ripened blackberries, plums, liquorice, cinnamon and toffee. Does not taste like a typical French or Aust/NZ Pinot. Elegant tannins and acidic. Taste more like a light right bank — 3 months ago

Enjoy - the best Napa cab by far. Its amazing that they can produce a wine like that at their price point!! They are soooo much better than the usual typical 350$ napa cab!!!!!

Agreed. I’m fortunate to have been on the list a few years and have visited the property, but I’m excited to see how the ‘21 is showing!
