Giant Steps Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2024

Tasting Notes

A 50/50% mix of upper and lower Yarra fruit; 35% whole bunches and matured in French oak (10% new). A bright crimson red. After a few good few swirls, aromas of ripe raspberries, black cherries, wild herbs and some crushed violets soon emerge. The palate, though, doesn't need much coaxing, and this silken, sappy wine has excellent depth and persistence. Will be even better six to 12 months from now. Drink from: 2024. Drink by: 2030. Special Value. (Philip Rich,winecompanion.com.au,April 29, 2024)
