Trinity Hill 2006 Homage Syrah (Hawke's Bay)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $125
This is among the most expensive wines from New Zealand, but it is also among the best. Ripe blueberry and blackberry flavors are rich on the palate and thickly textured, but accented by hints of smoked meat and framed by soft tannins. The oak, notable for its cedary, toasty aromas, virtually disappears on the palate.

Trinity Hill 2009 Homage Syrah (Hawke's Bay)
- $125
Less weighty than some of the other top-rated Hawke’s Bay Syrahs, Homage relies on complexity rather than raw power. Its sour plum fruit is perfectly balanced by black olive and roasted meat, hints of bacon and espresso, while the tannins are fine and silky, the acids bright. Drink now–2025.

Trinity Hill 2007 The Gimblett Red (Hawke's Bay)
- Editors' Choice
Lifted cherry and floral aromatics carry with them a hint of barrel char in this medium-bodied, elegantly styled blend of 51% Merlot, 17% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Petit Verdot, 11% Cabernet Franc and 9% Malbec. It’s admirably supple and harmonious from start to finish. Drink now–2015.

Trinity Hill 1998 Gimblett Road Chardonnay (Hawke's Bay)
- $30
Golden delicious apples and tropical fruits form the core of this elegant wine, accented by oak-imparted hints of toast, menthol and coconut. Finishes impressively, with the intensity building to a loud crescendo.

Trinity Hill 1998 Gimblett Road Cabernet Sauvignon (Hawke's Bay)
- $30
The intense combination of vanilla, cassis and black-cherry aromas results in an almost syrupy sensation—before even tasting the wine. On the palate, it is rich and full, but not cloying in the least, thanks to juicy acids and a strong streak of mint. Mildly tannic; can be drunk now or aged a few years.

Trinity Hill 2002 Homage Syrah (Hawke's Bay)
- $100
Much like the Bilancia La Collina, also crafted by winemaker Warren Gibson, there’s a touch of stone-fruit character to this wine, along with plenty of black- and blueberry fruit. Rich, intense and tannic, this needs time to show additional complexity. Hold 3–5 years. Imported by Davies & Co.

Trinity Hill 2009 The Gimblett Red (Hawke's Bay)
- $25
This blend of five Bordeaux varieties is a solid value, offering intense and pure cassis fruit that’s subtly framed by coffee, chocolate and the faintest hint of dried herbs. The overall feel is sturdy, with firm tannins. Drink 2015–2025.
