Mid to pale crimson - actually transparent. The pale colour belies the aromatic and palate intensity. Aromatics of cherry and raspberry transforming on to the medium bodied sweet red fruited palate. A touch of Sous Bois. An excellent Pinot as always from the Applejack Vineyard from Giant Steps. — 6 months ago

Light and smooth. Peppery, cranberries, raspberries and coffee. Jammy on the finish. — 6 months ago

This Cabernet Sauvignon from South Africa is very easy drinking. Soft and nuanced, it presents blackberry jam, cocoa, wet stone, and mint. The finish is long with fine tannins. Not bad on its own, but really delicious with NY strip steaks.

About as good as Aussie pinot gets. Aromatically explosive - dark spicy fruit, mushroomy funk, and a menthol/tobacco note . The palate is full bodied and silky without being heavy. The quality of the rich dark fruit needs the acid and honed tannins of a young vintage. This would make old bones given the balance, but I prefer the young precocious colt. This is serious and nothing like the Giant Steps pinots of previous notes. 94++ — 5 years ago

This is such a lovely Pinot with a winning balance of fruit and acidity. The medium bodied wine has classic aromas of raspberry, strawberry, cranberry, red currant, violet, orange peel, black cherry and forest floor. Medium (+) finish, low tannin and just a perfect wine for food pairing. Classic on my Thanksgiving table. — 6 months ago

Mealy, brioche, mixed with fresh lemon and slate. Perfect balance of steely mineral, lemon sweetness, and buttery brioche. Wombat creek has been my favourite single vineyard Giant Steps a few times. This is outstanding. A complete wine. — 5 years ago
