Overview:
FROMM Clayvin Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021 is a commanding expression of one of Marlborough’s most celebrated single vineyards. Low yields have delivered immense concentration, yet the wine retains remarkable freshness, structure, and finesse. Dark, brooding fruit intertwines with refined tannins and a seamless texture, resulting in a Pinot Noir of precision and persistence. A wine of both power and poise, with serious cellaring potential.
Tasting Notes:
A dark red core with a purple hue leads to aromas of plum, cassis, blackberry, and dark cherry, accented by floral lift and pure freshness. The palate is plush and mouth-filling, with a fine tannin coating and layers of dark fruit, nutty oak, and savoury complexity. Sleek and seductive, it shows balance between density and elegance, with a long, persistent finish. Best enjoyed with roast duck, venison, or aged cheeses.
