The Pruner's Reward Pinot Noir 2011, Waipara Valley   90/100  4.5/5

It's superbly ripe and complex on the nose displaying dark cherry, game, spice and subtle savoury mushroom characters. The palate is equally engaging with succulent mouthfeel and silky texture, leading to a lingering smooth finish. The wine shows lovely fruit richness together with elegant complexity. At its best: now to 2015. 14.5%. Screw cap. www.bellbirdspring.co.nz. Aug 2013.

Bellbird Spring River Terrace Pinot Noir 2011, Waipara Valley   93/100  5/5

From the Glasnevin gravel vineyards, this stylish pinot shows wonderful aromas of red/black cherry, plum, game and elegantly infused nutty oak characters. The palate is ripe, rounded and beautifully weighted with velvety texture leading to a sumptuous finish. Lovely balance and poise. At its best: now to 2018. 14.5%. Natural cork. www.bellbirdspring.co.nz. Aug 2013.
