The Winery of Good Hope Pinot Noir Reserve 2009 - rated one of "the best young SA pinot noirs that I have ever tasted" by Roland and the team at the Wine Cellar in Cape Town.

"10 years of pinot noir trials by Burgundy-nut Alex Dale and his partners at the Winery of Good Hope have paid off. The brightness and purity of fruit here is unbelievable! Lifted, fragrant and vivacious strawberry-daiquiri notes, hints of dried herbs and earth all come to the fore. It is fresh, zingy and succulent for drinking over summer, but with sufficient depth for a few years cellaring. You will battle to find a better value pinot noir anywhere in the world. Watch out for the 2009 Radford Dale Freedom Hill Pinot Noir out later this year that is more serious in stature and also ticks all the boxes."
