Giant Steps Applejack Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021 750ml

Applejack Vineyard is located on a dramatic slope and is closely planted and fastidiously managed. The basalt-based underlying volcanic soil and rock produce a  characteristically fine yet extended, spicy, and firm palate. Naturally high acidity, great flavor, and vibrant colors. Amazing quality.

Quite complex and perfumed bouquet of lovely woody notes, ripe raspberry fruit and hints of smoky bacon. Silky and precise, with gentle tannins.

From the highest elevation of this winery's single vineyards, this vintage of Applejack is rounder and creamier than Giant Step's other Pinots. Succulent cranberry and strawberry fruit is accompanied by white pepper, florals, umami and savory spice. With a mouthcoating texture, the savory tannins tug gently on the pure, fresh red fruit. Although this Pinot has the capacity to age, it is complete and ready to drink now.
