Giant Steps Harry's Monster 2004

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The 75 acre Giant Steps vineyard is on the north face of the Warramate Ranges in the central Yarra Valley, an hour east of Melbourne. Established across a series of ridges rising from the 300 to 1000 foot level, the vineyard is planted to rocky/gravelly clays.

The nose offers up aromas of cassis, cherry, chocolate liqueur, blackcurrant and vanilla bean qualities. The plate is tight, highlighting blackcurrant, cedar, clove mixed spice and vanilla characteristics.
