FROMM Pinot Noir The Curation 2020

Offering wonderful fruit purity and elegant complexity, the wine shows dark cherry, raspberry, floral, thyme and anise notes on the nose. The palate is concentrated and textural with flowing mouthfeel and fine-grained tannins, making the wine refined and beautifully structured. It's youthfully charming and splendidly balanced with outstanding harmony and length. At its best: 2021 to 2028. www.frommwinery.co.nz. March 2020.

FROMM Pinot Noir Cuvée "H" 2017

Our FROMM Pinot Noir Cuvee “H" is a thoughtful blend of our individual single vineyard Pinots. Incorporating the qualities of each of these wines into a premium blend (Cuvée) gives us a Pinot that is balanced yet complex; powerful yet elegant. It’s certainly a style that we enjoy drinking.

Our 2017 shows lovely depth of fruit, opening with dark red, blue berries and an underlay of ripe cherries. The aromas then reveal a granite-like minerality, inviting florals, lifting sage herbs and a lick of sweet vanilla spice. The palate is generous with good fruit weight, velvety layered tannins and enhancing, enticing acidity. We built this wine to last but are delighted with its charm and approachability now. Every component complements the other in seamless harmony - rather like a well-rehearsed orchestra. A lovely mix of complexity and finesse adds to the wine’s fineness.

FROMM Pinot Noir Cuvee "H" 2017 jamessuckling.com -----96 points

This is a bold, complex and spicy pinot with plenty of ripe dark cherries and red
berries, brash but integrated toasty oak, pomegranate and spices in abundance.
This all leads to a super succulent palate that drives energetic, rich and scintillatingly fresh red-cherry and blood orange flavors long, amid smoothly polished tannins. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

"A hint of cedar accents maraschino cherries on the nose, followed by a medium-bodied wine of exceptional texture and purity. The silky tannins linger on the finish, mingling with red berries in an exciting fruity-savory tango."
