Bell Hill Vineyards

Old Weka Pass Road Pinot Noir 2016

A pale crimson with a tawny edge - almost transparent. A high quality Pinot Noir from Canterbury wizards Marcel Giesen and Sherwyn Veldhuizen. As I said last tasting note - pale but powerful. As good a new World Pinot Noir as you will find, and this is Bell Hill’s second wine. I can’t improve on the previous Delectable note from October 6 2023. These wines from Bell Hill aren’t cheap but are a lot cheaper than good Burgundy. — 2 years ago

Ridge Block Single Vineyard Selection Pinot Noir 2013

Jonathan Udkow
9.3

Luscious and feminine on the nose. Satin waves of clean red fruit and subtle tea notes. Super nicely balanced and clean in the mouth. Tart and expressive with powerful fruit and nuanced oak. Bright and explosive finish with long fruit going on and on. The hint of bite let’s you know where it’s from. Not Burgundian but a truly beautiful expression of New Zealand Pinot — 8 years ago

Brookby Road Single Vineyard Selection Pinot Noir 2012

Huge aromas of bright cherry and raspberry with floral notes. Great balance, with pretty strawberry flavors that have a subtle mineral edge. Long pure finish. — 9 years ago

A family only bottle made just for the Giesen's, not available in the market, so fresh and clean; barrel fermented as only a Kiwi transplant in France world choose to do. A nice pull from Alex's private cellar.
