Reviewed March 2023Really beautiful and silky with perfectly ripe strawberries, chocolate, hazelnut and light toffee in both the nose and on the palate. Full-bodied yet tensioned and focused. Very fine tannins. It goes on for minutes. Love.
Take it home. Or give it a cellar.
Take possession as soon as your order is ready, or choose managed storage with RareStorage.

Bob Campbell
Lacking depth of colour but showing surprising power with flavours that suggest red cherry, floral/red rose and fresh herb flavours. Vibrant, high energy pinot noir that will mellow with bottle age. Elegant wine. *Five-Star Gold Rating* (BC)
Notes
The Bell Hill Pinot Noir, first produced in 2003, blends fruit from the Shelf, Limeworks, and Quarry Rootlings blocks, with a focus on savoury, earthy, and dried herb flavors rather than primary fruit sweetness. Its structure features supportive tannins, persistent acidity, and a slow evolution, which allows for an additional year of bottle aging prior to release.
