Note di degustazione
Marked by scents of mushrooms, compost and sous-bois, the 2018 Applejack Vineyard Pinot Noir is the earthiest and most savory of the 2018 Pinots from Giant Steps. Aged in 25% new oak, there are touches of mocha and cedar evident, but they're balanced by hints of red berries. The wine is medium-bodied and supple, with ultrafine, silky tannins and a mouthwatering finish.

40% whole-bunch fermented. Matured for 10 months in French oak (18% new). Tasted blind. Cranberry, something almost cooked about the fruit. There’s luxurious vanilla spice too. Generous, full, fleshy. Has the Australian fruity character on the palate and a long, complex finish which combines oak and earth well. Californian, maybe? (RH)
Love the aromas of tea, strawberries, cherries and freshly cut flowers, which follow through to a medium to full body. Tight and silky tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Shows focus and finesse with structure. Drink now or hold. Screw cap.
