Giant Steps Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2020
Crafted in Australia’s renowned Yarra Valley by award-winning producer Giant Steps, this 2020 Pinot Noir blends elegance with bold character. Racked 94 points from Wine Enthusiast and Vinous, it showcases a sophisticated balance of fruit intensity and refined structure—perfect for both casual enjoyment and special occasions.
Aroma & Flavor Profile
The nose opens with vibrant notes of Bing cherry cola and dried rose petals, layered with subtle hints of vanilla bean and forest floor earthiness. On the palate, ripe strawberry jam mingles with clove-spiced oak nuances, while fine-grained tannins provide a crisp backbone that lingers into a warm spice finish.
Why This Bottle Stands Out
Unlike many light-bodied Pinots, this medium-weight gem combines juicy red fruit vibrancy with savory complexity—a hallmark of Yarra Valley terroir expertly expressed through cool-climate fermentation techniques. The 13.5% ABV ensures harmony without heaviness, making it versatile for pairing with grilled salmon or mushroom risotto while aging gracefully until 2030+.
