Bell Hill Vineyards

Old Weka Pass Road Pinot Noir 2016

9.3

See several previous Delectable notes on this wine and vintage. A pale crimson colour with tawny garnet shades. Aromatics of red fruits (strawberry) and Sous Bois on the nose. It may be pale in colour but carries a Medium plus palate intensity of good length. A very good 2nd wine from Bell Hill from the Canterbury district (just to the north of Christchurch) which deserves more recognition as a source of high quality Pinot Noir. Also referred to as the Waipara District. — 9 days ago

Out of magnum at my historic house. Just me and the kid. He watches. I think this is profound now. Probably a hard release back then but ethereal today — 9 months ago

Very nice wine. Amazing for such an old wine. Showing its age a bit but still a fine cab. — 3 years ago

Pleasant surprise: legit Zin here, maybe a touch hot but intense varietal fruit & character, impressive extraction & finesse. Brambly gnarly a lot of personality… Believe this was under $20 and that’s great QPR. Mendo can still produce value — 9 months ago

Medium purple in color; blackberries, blueberries, and oak on the nose; medium plus acidity; medium plus tannins; tastes like blueberry jam, black plum, crushed gravel, and a little eucalyptus with a long finish. I really like this wine. Nellie likes it too. — 5 months ago

Langtry

Old Soldier Road Tephra Ridge Vineyard Merlot Blend 2019

Paul Weil

8.9

This inky, Merlot-dominant blend is a full-on Goth wine: dark currants, dark cherries, dark blueberries…

The oak is restrained and the jamminess is less than in recent releases. A bit of decanting helps to reduce the jam factor a lot.

I’m still not completely sold on the “new and improved” Langtry wine style, but I see this as a solid step in the right direction, perhaps someday restoring Old Soldier Road to its former greatness. — 10 months ago
