A Pinot Noir of beautiful poise and subtle complexity, this is exceptional value-for-money at this limited-time discounted price.
"96 Points. An opulent crimson purple. Explodes from the glass with its aromas of ripe cherries, raspberry coulis, lavender and spice. It's just so brightly fruited and juicy on the palate, too. Balanced acidity and tannins complete a superb and well-priced Yarra pinot to drink now and over the next three to four years. As good a Giant Steps entry point as I have tasted. RRP $40. 13.5% alc. Drink: 2026 - 2030."- Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion.
"As delicious as it is delightful. There’s a spirit of generosity to the Pinot Noir - it has Drink Me written all over it - but it still manages to be neat and well structured. Red cherry, strawberry, flashes of raspberry, mint, meat, roasted nuts and gentle orange oil notes. It’s satiny, fluid and fresh; it’s charming. Rated: 93 Points. Tasted: Aug26. 13.5% alc. $45 Screwcap. Drink: 2026 - 2031+"- Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front.
