JULES TAYLOR 11 PINOT NOIR
Sauvignon Blanc in Marlborough was a run-away success from the mid-90s on, but we’ve heard for a decade or more that the Pinots would be terrific. Nothing takes more time and heart-ache to get right than Pinot Noir, but Marlborough Pinot Noir is hitting its stride. Jules Taylor’s Pinot is bright, supple, and aromatic with fresh raspberry and mulberry fruit mixed with hibiscus floral notes and subtle spicy notes of ginger and tea. The style is perhaps closer to Oregon than to Central Coast Pinot as the acidity is bright and snappy.
