2017 Fromm Vineyard Pinot Noir

96 POINTS

Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

Engaging and complex, the bouquet shows dark cherry, raspberry, tar, charcuterie and hazelnut characters. It is superbly concentrated and powerful on the palate, while remaining graceful and poised, leading to a flatteringly long finish backed by fine, chalky tannins. From the Wairau Valley district.

Rich, fleshy pinot noir, with appealing fruit sweetness and luscious plum, ripe cherry and nutty oak flavours. The wine seems softer, silkier and more accessible than I remember it. It will no doubt age well, but can be savoured without guilt right now.
