Giant Steps Sexton Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
DOZEN: $982.80 or $81.90 each
While Giant Steps' enviable reputation was built on the back of its single-vineyard pinots, that didn't stop it from taking out trophies for best shiraz and cabernet at the 2023 Yarra Valley Wine Show. A medium deep, bright crimson-purple, this elegant and concentrated wine has aromas of dark cherries, blackcurrant, ugni, cedar from the impeccably handled oak, and violets. The palate is medium bodied and perfectly pitched. This is another superb Yarra cabernet that dispels the notion that you'll have to cellar it for ages to enjoy. (97) PHILIP RICH, Halliday Wine Companion
When the Yarra Valley does Cabernet Sauvignon well …
This is a beautiful medium-bodied red wine. It’s svelte, it’s laced with tannin, it blooms with fruit as it rests in the glass, and it’s balanced on a pinhead. Blackcurrant, mulberry, cedarwood, bay leaf and cigar box; it’s all here, and it all plays deliciously. For all that, the length of this wine’s finish ultimately vies to be the main highlight; here, red licorice is added to the show, along with everything else. (95) CAMPBELL MATTINSON
