Trinity Hill Merlot 2024
Hawkes Bay, New Zealand
FIVE STARS 93/100 | Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
92/100 'Premium' | Cameron Douglas MS
Easy drinking Hawke's Bay Merlot that pairs perfectly with a wide range of meals. Soft yet the spice of oak aging and a splash of cabernet sauvignon in the mix adds some complexity and delicious smokiness. The previous vintage was the darling at all the award shows, and we expect the 2022 vintage to follow in its footsteps. We are backing this little beauty all the way - and we think you should too.

Tasting Notes
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "Gorgeously ripe and inviting, the fragrant bouquet shows Black Doris plum, blueberry, rich floral, subtle spice, and toasted nut aromas. The palate displays excellent weight and plump mouthfeel, wonderfully framed by silky texture and finely infused tannins. Sturdy and supple at once with a sustained, satisfying finish."
Cameron Douglas writes "An excellent bouquet and palate with scents and flavours of violets and baked Doris plums, fresh boysenberry and fruit spices then a layer of wood smoke. Firm and dry on the palate with textures from tannins and plenty of acidity for length and to carry the fruit messages. Medium length and finish with best drinking from late 2025 through 2029+."
The winery writes "Chocolate, plum, and blackberry aromas of Merlot have combined with the aromatic spice of oak aging to produce a fruit-dominant yet complex wine. Soft, ripe tannins make this wine serious yet eminently drinkable. It can be enjoyed with a wide range of different foods, particularly lamb and beef."
