2013 Giant Steps "Sexton Vineyard" Pinot Noir Yarra Valley Victoria

This north-facing slope planted to seven clones of Pinot Noir seems to produce better wines every year. The 2013 is medium-bodied yet creamy-textured and lush, with black cherry fruit framed by cedar and vanilla. It‰۪s silky and vibrant on the finish, making it a treat to drink already. (JC)
