Giant Steps

Arthurs Creek Vineyard Chardonnay 2023

Bob McDonald
9.5

Delectable-this is a new cuvée for Giant Steps called Bastard Hill. It acquired its name from the vineyard workers planting it out. Viticultural legend, Ray Guerin was sent from McLaren Vale by the original investors to bring the Bastard to life. He was there 26 years, raised a family on that hill, and established a career that had him universally acknowledged as the most significant viticultural figure in Australian wine’s push into cool climate regions. Ray also planted the Applejack vineyard held by Giant Steps - a fabulous site for Pinot Noir. This Chardonnay was Halliday’s Chardonnay of the year awarded a few weeks ago and possibly sold out by now. This Chardonnay flinty with struck match sulphidic aromas with ripe pink grapefruit and mineral. Barb saw notes of honeysuckle. This is a good example of a modern Australian Chardonnay. Philip Rich thought it was reminiscent of a good Corton-Charlemagne and gave it 98 points. This is the first of 6 for me. I’ll be fascinated to see how this develops. — 3 months ago

@Doug Powers With the US ownership of Giant Steps I meant to say, Bastard Hill will be available in the USA sooner or later.

Medium pink color. Smells like strawberries and pomegranates on the nose. Tastes like cranberries, strawberries, and raspberries. Intense, but balanced acidity with a long finish. Nellie likes it too! — 2 years ago

@Peter Sultan, of course not, but Delectable (like UnTappd, the beer app I also use) has very limited “venue” apps, so, like my buddy @Severn Goodwin, who once checked in a wine at a Canadian toll booth, we all look for funny venues!! On UnTappd, I was able to create a custom venue that I use, but have never figured out how to do so on Delectable?!?!

Oh shoot, I was really starting to enjoy the image of Delectable-ites toasting with their Chinon while watching as their car gets scrubbed. All kidding aside, there was a shift on Delectable several years back I noticed when it became impossible to locate myself ( though w restaurants it works well); apparently my closest drinking venue is the synagogue across the street!@Doug Powers

9.2

Blend of Grenache dominated wine with Syrah and Mourvèdre added in the blend, Ruby with aromas of red fruits, floral and spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and plum with licorice, black pepper, herbs and tobacco notes. Long finish, fine tannins ending with fruit, cacao and earthy spice. Pair with beef or game meats, a big wine just starting to drink well. — a year ago
