2017 Framingham Pinot Noir 6 Pack

James Suckling

Impressive clarity of strawberries and wild cherries, amid some gently spicy oak influence. The palate has a lightly peppery core with a brambly red-fruit thread that holds long and fresh. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

Bob Campbell MW - The Real Review

More whole bunches in the ferment, more time on the skins and less new oak are just a few changes made by winemaker, Hedley, to get less flavour sweetness in this year's pinot noir. An elegant, slightly leafy pinot noir with cherry, raspberry, floral, spice, and sappy dried herb flavours. It's a fleshy, complex wine with good weight. Good value

Decanter World Wine Awards 2019 - Silver

Attractive raspberry and lavender aromas. Juicy red fruit with some herbal overtones and cedar-like oak and plenty of depth and length.

Wine Spectator

Bright and expressive, with sage-scented cherry and raspberry fruit flavors that have an appealingly robust quality and dense tannins. Drink now. 2,688 cases made, 500 cases imported.

Joe Czerwinski - Wine Advocate

Framingham's 2017 Pinot Noir features cinnamon and clove notes, plus dark cherry fruit. It's medium-bodied and sturdy, with attractive cola flavors, a firm, unyielding mouthfeel and a crisp, mouthwatering finish. Despite the tannins, I don't see this becoming more generous over time, so drink it over the next few years.
