Turdo Pinot Noir Cape May County 2010 (NJ)


I am a big fan of Turdo Vineyards in Cape May County. Sal and Sara Turdo have produced wonderful wines for more than a decade. Since their founding, their son Luca has also been a main cog at the winery.

All Turis wines (as they are labeled) are 100% estate grown. They make mostly Italian varietal wines such as Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Sangiovese, among others. Their Italian varietals are among the best on the east coast. So when I saw a Pinot Noir on their list, I got one asap. But I put it in my cellar and then lost track of it. Admittedly, I drank my Italian varietals first.

Turdo Pinot Noir Cape May County 2010 was a lovely , light-styled Pinot Noir with lovely aromas of cherry and raspberry. Lovely, light color. Hints of vanilla and spice. Very, very quaffable. Lovely little wine.

Reminds me, I need to get down there soon!
