JULY 2021 STAFF TASTING
BELL HILL CHARDONNAY
2015
Smoky with white nectarine, energetic with depth and a chaotic density. Vibrant and balanced with crisp acid and grip. Mouth filling.
2011
Soft pleasing oyster shell entry, good acid with pillowy loft, awakening in the glass.
2009
Fuller bodied, riper in style than the 2015 and 2011, rounder, salty, soe more tropical notes, cuttin line and finish. Could benefit from a gentle decant.
BELL HILL PINOT NOIR
2015
Savoury with forest floor and baking spice inermixed, very textural, bright red fruits, cool, building in tannins but still soft and supple with a stony edge.
