FROMM Pinot Noir 2022

Pretty and lifted on the nose, with notes of rain-washed crushed petals and dusky hedgerow fruit, and the merest hint of spice-cupboard intrigue.
The impression on the palate is rounded, with fine and well-integrated tannins and a fresh acidity reminiscent of a fridge-cold blueberry. There are notes of summer fruits here, alongside a darker damson character, and a touch of subtle vanilla.

A bouquet of energy and brightness, variety and expression. On the nose and palate a wine that releases flavours of fresh and preserved cherry, dried spices and barrel flavours. There’s a definitive soil quality with clay and stones adding complexity and breadth. Tannins are still settling into the position and acidity ensures energy and longevity. A lovely example that simply needs more time to reveal it best self. Great drinking from 2025 through 2033+.

Supple, delicately fragrant wine with appealing purity and flavours suggesting floral/violet, black cherry/berry and subtle spice, including anise. Precise wine that will develop well with moderate bottle age 11 FEB 2024

11 Mar, 2024 – Beautiful aromas of strawberries, raspberries and spices such as nutmeg and sage. Medium-bodied with a solid core of fruit and tannins that follow through to a linear finish. A little chewy now but will soften in three or four years. Better after 2027. Screw cap.

FROMM Pinot Noir 2021
Dusky, dark berry fruit on the nose, with damson plum and a hint of violet florals. Elegant and concentrated on the palate, the tannic framework and vibrant, refreshing acidity provide structure to a lively hedgerow-berry core of juicy bramble, rosehip jelly and a hint of cacao nib from subtly handled oak. The tannins are finely realised, carrying the concentrated fruit expression through to a pleasing and persistent finish.

FROMM Pinot Noir 2020
After the generous 2019 offering we are again blessed with a truly excellent and very classic Pinot Noir vintage, arguably the best since 2010 in terms of finesse, elegance and varietal purity. The colour is bright with a dark red hue. There is clarity and precision on the nose with ripe yet cool dark fruit aromas, complex and transparent at the same time. Like a racehorse, this wine is all muscle but no fat, subtle power with an elusive lightness, flowing seamlessly through the palate and finishing with real tension, firm structure and a fine tannin coating in the long finish.

26 Sep, 2022 – This has a pretty nose of dried violets, wild raspberries, blackberries, licorice, cloves and crushed stones.

FROMM Pinot Noir 2019

Bright, medium density Pinot colour with a nice dark hue. The nose is youthful, generous and direct, offering ripe dark fruit aromas with a gentle earthy touch and refreshing clarity.
At first, the palate is vibrant and appealing with an almost rustic elegance yet without any hard edges. As the wine opens up in the glass, there is a wonderful presence of ripe, crunchy fruit, fine tannins and excellent structure, all blending together into a harmonious and complex Pinot of superb transparency and tension.

I’ve been enjoying this wine over three days to discover that day three delivers the best expression for this wine and vintage. Aromas and flavours of a deeply complex and fine savoury bouquet. Layers of red berries and wood spice, smoky oak and red berry scents of Doris plum and dark cherry, some wild forest berries and kitchen spice suggestions. Equally complex on the palate, dry with a core of fruit, contrasting tannins and acidity layered between savoury, mineral and spice. Delicious, youthful and lengthy. Best drinking from late 2022 through 2030. 14 OCT 2021.

A blend of grapes from five vineyards mainly in the Southern Valleys. Bright, vibrant pinot noir with dark cherry, floral, violet, fireworks and spicy oak flavours. Appealing purity and with subtle power. A serious wine at an attractive price. 01 OCT 2021
Cellar 2021–2026. Screw cap.

29 Nov, 2021 – Such impressive freshness and vitality of red-cherry fruit on offer here, this has a gently herbal and sappy edge, as well as earth and spice. The palate has such supple and fleshy red-cherry fruit. Impressively pure and bright pinot here. Drink now. Screw cap.

FROMM Pinot Noir 2018

Opening with vibrant bright, red fruit aromas, the nose is under laced with earthy undertones, and a subtle dusting of oak. The palate is medium weight with supple fine tannin support. This wine is more a reflection of its terroirs and the vintage than just simply nice Pinot Noir fruit.

(Outstanding quality showing varietal purity and exemplifying regional type).

Elegant and splendidly complex, the inviting bouquet shows red cherry, spiced plum, olive, violet and subtle mushroom characters. The palate delivers lovely weight and flow with fabulous fruit purity, wonderfully complemented by refined mouthfeel and polished tannins. It’s stylish and harmonious with a lengthy textured finish. At its best: now to 2026. Certified organic.

A very good example of Marlborough pinot noir with red fruits, a suggestion of floral and attractive spicy oak that flatters rather than competes with winemaker artefact. 2020–2025. 22 Jan 2020

Very layered and all seamlessly integrated with bright red cherries and some spice and stony notes. The palate has a smooth, lightly grainy texture. Brighter cherry flavors are underpinned by gently chalky, stony tannins. Acidity cleanses the finish and holds it in tautly focused mode. From organically grown grapes. Drink over the next five years.

"This is a bright and bouncy springtime Pinot from the well regarded organic producer FROMM. The cinnamon and clove spice get along graciously with the slinky red and blueberry fruit and floral characters. Tingly acidity on the palate makes the fruit pop. It’s backed by savory, sappy notes and a talc-like cinch of tannins that hits just at the right spot. Light-bodied and chillable, this is a playful yet seriously well made wine. Drink now–2027."
