Giant Steps Single Vineyard Wines Applejack Vineyard Pinot Noir 2019

Yarra Valley, Victoria, AustraliaYou can see why the Australian media is so excited about this pinot. Fresh, light, and medium-weight, this projects a lot of pinot character and fits the Jackson Family Wines' delicious factor they like in their pinot noir. Giants Steps’ is now under the watch of JFW Australia and will have access to many resources, including the mind and palate of Peter Fraser. I have no history with this wine, but it doesn’t take much to fall in love with the elegance here and the rooty, savoury undercurrent that complexes its delicious red fruit—what a delicate pinot with extraordinary length. Let’s hope local buyers get on board and order all they can get.Tasted: 02 April 2021Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
