Jules Taylor 2010 Pinot Noir (Marlborough)
- Editors' Choice
- $20
A blend of fruit drawn from the Awatere and Brancott subregions, this is a lively, fresh example of Marlborough Pinot Noir. Judiciously applied notes of vanilla and cinnamon accent flavors of cherry and herb that finish long, while the medium- to full-bodied wine’s tannins are ripe and impart a creamy texture. Drink now and over the next couple of years.

Jules Taylor 2008 Pinot Noir (Marlborough)
- $20
This slightly chunky Pinot Noir boasts robust aromas and flavors of black cherries, roasted parsnip and hickory smoke. It’s not the most finesseful Pinot Noir out there, but it’s assertively flavored, varietally correct and should drink well over the next several years.

This is a full-bodied, soft and round style of Pinot Gris that’s almost completely dry. Understated pear and melon aromas combine with hints of fern fronds to create an enchanting bouquet, while the flavors are more straightforward and fruity. Drink now.

Jules Taylor 2009 Ballochdale Estate Pinot Noir (Marlborough)
- $22
Sourced from a high-altitude vineyard near the top of the Awatere Valley, this wine shows some of the leafiness characteristic of the region. The fruit is more roasted root vegetable than tree fruit, with a potent savory and fairly muscular character.

Jules Taylor 2009 Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)
- Online Exclusive
- $14
Understated grapefruit and herbal aromas lead the way, framing peach and melon flavors. Round and soft on the palate, then turning a bit chalky on the finish. Drink now.
