Hints of struck match and new oak on the nose. Sweet redcurrant and cranberry flavours on the elegant, light bodied palate. Juicy acidity and fine chalky tannins produce some medium palate intensity and a reasonably long finish.

Giant Steps Sexton Vineyard Pinot Noir 2020, Yarra Valley, Vic
Vintage: 2020
Rating: Highly Recommended
RRP: $65
Ratings Key:
Outstanding (Score range 95-100)
Often an internationally recognised, leading brand or winery – but not always! Produces a classic wine that is a faultless representation of the style/variety. Complexity on the nose and a seamless palate are an example of the hallmarks of an outstanding wine.
Highly Recommended (Score range 92-94)
A quality focused wine that has plenty of style. Length of palate and intensity are often key characteristics of highly recommended wines. These producers could be the ones to watch in the future.
Recommended (Score range 89-91)
An above average well-made, reflection of the style/variety, which often represents good value for money.
