The Wine:
Handpicked, fermented in a combination of small oak and stainless steel open vats. The MV6 parcels were fermented as whole bunches, while the remaining clones were destemmed to whole berries and cold soaked for 5 days. The resulting blend is 21% whole bunch. All parcels were matured in French oak, 25% of which were new, for 10 months.
The Review:
Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion - 97pts
"From the Sexton vineyard in Gruyere; 10% whole bunches and matured nine months in French barriques (25% new). A deep ruby. Aromas of kirsch, damson plums, licorice root and spices; this heady, concentrated wine has a lot of meat on the bones, with ripe, persistent tannins boding well for the future. A great contrast to the more delicate Giant Steps wines such as Bastard Hill and Primavera."
