2010 Tarraford Vineyard Pinot Noir, Giant Steps
Yarra Valley, Australia
The 2010 Tarraford Pinot Noir is a brooding, meaty and earthy expression of Yarra Valley Pinot Noir, with underlying varietal fruit and structural tannins.
The nose gives freshly tilled earth and a meatiness that is tempered by savoury plum and cherry aromas. The wine has great structure, with rhubarb, cherry and a touch of tomato leaf providing interest and a good contrast to the mouth-filling ripe tannins. The wine has a medium to full-bodied finish with savoury red fruits accentuated by gentle spices and elegant oak inputs.

In 1997 Phil Sexton arrived in the Yarra Valley in search of altitude, aged soils, slopes of exposure, regular rainfall and cool to cold nighttime temperatures and a gentle breeze off the protecting mountain ranges. Why, because he wanted to grow amazing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir fruit to make wines of purity and finesse.
Steve Flamsteed, Chief Winemaker of Giant Steps since 2003 has set about creating a range of Single Vineyard wines that personify each site. The Yarra Valley Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, LDR and Syrah were then created, clearly displaying the Yarra Valley fruit in a simple, textural and affordable light.
The Giant Steps wines have received global acclaim and established a strong reputation in restaurants and fine wine stores around the world.
Since 2003 Giant Steps wines have collectively been awarded 34 trophies and over 100 gold medals at major international and domestic wine shows and have been named one of the Top 100 Wineries in the World by Wine & Spirits Magazine, US for each of the last six years
