Country: Australia / Sexton Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir Victoria
Winery: Giant Steps / Yarra Valley
Phil Sexton’s wines under the Giant Steps label are becoming more consistent, and the 2014s may be his best yet. This is a medium- to full-bodied wine, with a supple, creamy texture and lingering notes of spring flowers and black cherries. Subtle oaking adds brown sugar and mocha shadings to the crisp finish. Drink now–2022.
