Hamilton Russell Hemel-en-Aarde Pinot Noir 2016

Vinous, Stephen Tanzer

Wine Spectator
(12/15/2017) "Tightly focused, with a lovely beam of red currant, raspberry and bitter cherry coulis flavors racing through, enhanced by a bright iron note and backed by a long, floral-edged finish. Best from 2018 through 2023."

(6/25/2018) "A spicy and unique nose with lots of thyme, stems, paprika and black peppers. Tight and stylish, showing a medium body, medium-chewy tannins and a mineral finish. Drink in 2019."

Kershaw Elgin Syrah 2014
92
Wine Advocate
(4/28/2017) "The 2014 Clonal Selection Elgin Syrah has a refined bouquet that actually needed some coaxing from the glass, eventually offering boysenberry, bilberry and violet scents. The palate is well balanced with sappy red berry fruit, white pepper and hints of bacon fat towards the finish. There something animally and gamey about this Syrah, yet that merely enhances its complexity. This is a very fine Syrah that will give a decade's worth of drinking pleasure."

Van Loggerenberg "Trust Your Gut" Western Cape Chenin Blanc 2018
93
Our Score
(10/2019) The idiosyncrasies of Lukas Van Loggerenberg and his wines make us swoon. The wines are defined by nuance and subtle complexity while underneath they hide a deeply moving soulfulness that leaves us contemplative, and smiling. His "Trust Your Gut" Chenin Blanc is sourced from hand tended grapes in Swartland, Paarl and Stellenbosch. Like the wines of another of our favorite producers, Hofgut Falkenstein, this dry white is entirely delicate, yet layered with delicious green apple, white pepper, herbal honey, minerality and high acidity. At the top level, South African Chenin is capable of great complexity, and we find it here. Drink now with hours of decanting, or allow it to develop over the next 5-10 years.

Stony Brook Vineyards "The Lyle" Coastal Region Sparkling Chardonnay 2013
Winemaker's Notes
"Fresh citrus on the nose, with a hint of brioche from the extended lees contact. Lovely balance between brightness and richness on the palate, followed by a long, dry finish, allowing this Cap Classique to be cellared for many years to come. A wonderful wine to accompany oysters or to be enjoyed on its own for that special celebration."

Stony Brook Vineyards "Ovidius" Franschhoek Tempranillo 2014
A toasty, unique offering that is reminscent of quality Reserva-level Ribera del Duero!
Winemaker's Notes
"Long elevage in first and second-use French Oak. Intense cherry tobacco aromas and dark, ripe black fruit are immediately present on the nose, followed by sweet spice, nutmeg and a touch of oak. There is a definite black cherry character on the palate that rounds off the fine, silky tannins and plush, ripe fruit finish."

Van Loggerenberg "Breton" Stellenbosch Cabernet Franc 2017

Vinous, Antonio Galloni
(8/2018) "The 2017 Breton (whose name is inspired by the Loire) comes from two vineyards in the Polkerdrei (100% whole-bunch-fermented) and from the foothills of the Helderberg, matured in third-fill oak barrels. It has a fresh, vibrant bouquet that really articulates the Cabernet Franc in a Chinon style. The palate is medium-bodied with dry tannin and a little reserved and austere at first, opening with classic bell-pepper-tinged Cabernet Franc fruit and closing with a touch of cracked black pepper on the finish. Excellent."

Swerwer Western Cape Red Blend 2017
90
Our Score
(2/2019) This non-interventionist wine is crafted from old, low-yielding vineyards planted to Cinsault, Grenache and Tinta Barocca. The wine is 100% whole-cluster, fermentation is spontaneous with the wine brought-up for 12 months in neutral French oak. Despite the hot climate origins, this wine is decidedly energetic. Delicate floral notes lift a compact, cherry-fruited palate with good grit and structure from the unique Portuguese variety. A different kind of barbecue wine that has a wide swath of appeal!

Van Loggerenberg "Geronimo" Stellenbosch Cinsault 2017

(10/2018) Another new South African find, this time from an exciting producer in the Stellenbosch region. Alive with great energy and freshness, this 100% whole cluster Cinsault reminds us of a wine from one of Kermit Lynch's natural growers in the Languedoc. Red fruit flavors, floral notes and pepper intermingle beautifully. This medium-bodied wine has the capability of drinking well for days after opening. Young Lukas Van Loggerenberg is bottling some seriously distinctive wines, and his "Geronimo" is delightful.
