"Developed, with excellent depth of b;ackcurrant, herb and spice flavours, amd coffee and dark chocolate notes adding complexity. Refined, with tight, chewy tannins and good length."
Winestate magazine, Hawkes Bay Regional Tasting, Sept / Oct 2008.
"Another beautifully maturing red showing an incredibly complex bouquet of smoked meat, ripe berries, leather and sweet oak. The palate is opulent with freshness coming from the balanced acidity while the excellent structure is provided by the firm tannins. Lovely mid palate texture and weight make it complete.... At its best: now to 2009."
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, August 2007.
“Trinity Hill has always been a ‘first division’ red wine producerﾅ...
Dense, sweet red –and dark-berry flavours are interwoven with classy, spicy oak. An elegant and approachable wine made in a style that’s more forward than past examples. Very appealing cabernet merlot from a good vintage.” 4 Stars, 90/100.
Gourmet Traveller, Top New Zealand Bordeaux-style Reds Tasting, June/July 2006.
“Deeply coloured, mouthfilling and well structured with some firm, drying tannins and some oak still melding in to the whole. Young but already nicely warm and showing some concentration to open further over two years.”
Winestate Annual 2005.
“This is the kind of wine you buy as a gift for someone who is serious about wine and enjoys a claret, albeit with a distinctly New World twist. Blackberries, plums and currants surrounded by shepherd’s saddle, cedar, spice and other emerging goodies.”
Warren Barton’s Christmas Wine Guide. The Dominion Post 2005.
“Well-fruited, with plenty of life. Fleshy, generous in style and certainly holding even more back. One panelist called it brooding and with a big future. The ideal conditions of the vintage suited this variety in the vineyard. A remarkable wine.” 5 Stars.
