'97 points. A special wine that ticks all the boxes: depth of dark berry fruits, spice, licorice and supple tannins. Bargain + + +.' James Halliday, Wine Companion

Luca Maroni is one of Italy's most renowned wine critics – Italy's James Halliday or Jeremy Oliver if you like – and for the latest edition of his annual wine companion,  over 11,000 wines were tasted.  The equal highest rated wine was this, the Amaranta Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2016

Giant Steps Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2017 has done it again.  First it picked up 97 Points from Halliday & was classified amoung the "Best of the Best" Pinot Noir for the Year.  Now's it's picked up Trophy for Best Pinot Noir at the Royal Sydney Wine Show.  Not bad for a $29.99 wine.
