Giant Steps Apple Jack Vineyard Pinot Noir, Yarra Valley, Australia 2022

Description

Sourced from the high-elevation Applejack Vineyard in the Upper Yarra Valley, this single-vineyard Pinot Noir showcases the finesse and purity that have made Giant Steps one of Australia's benchmark producers. Fragrant red cherry, wild raspberry and cranberry are complemented by delicate floral notes, subtle spice and earthy undertones. The palate is silky and refined, with bright natural acidity, fine tannins and exceptional length. Elegant, expressive and distinctly site-driven, this Pinot Noir is approachable now yet has the structure to develop beautifully with careful cellaring.

"Downright sexy from first sniff, this Pinot Noir bursts with aromas of wild raspberries, mulberries and crushed rose petals, layered with earthy, sweet-savory notes of hoisin-glazed mushrooms and forest floor. Silky and graceful on the palate, it glides effortlessly with vibrant red berry flavors, lifted by lively acidity and framed by fine, savory tannins. Beautifully balanced and already showing remarkable complexity, it has the structure to evolve gracefully over the next decade."
