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. — a year ago
Sadly just about a year too late on this one. Marvelous rich dark fruit. One of the bottles we shipped back from our NZ trip. Shame, but bringing back lovely memories. Giving good rating based on tasting at the winery. — 5 years ago
The wine certainly tastes special, with pure fruit expressions of blueberry, currant and plums on the nose and palate. There is a sense of white pepper and sweet oak, but just a touch - they let the fruit do the talking here. Tannins are gentle, but firm, and the finish takes a long time to wave the checkered flag. — 4 years ago

Good fruit with very nice spice from the barrel. No malolactic notes which adds to the overall positive impression. — 16 days ago
