Fromm Clayvin Vineyard Pinot Noir 2008

Fromm winery is situated in the north of the South island in New Zealand in a town called Blenheim.  This area is one of the driest and sunniest in New Zealand which has made it easy to produce distinctive Sauvignon Blanc wines.  This winery has focused on producing Pinot Noir from many single vineyards within the area.

Fromm Clayvin Vineyard Pinot Noir 2008

God these New Zealand Pinots taste ultra cool which is more reminiscent of French Pinot than the Aussie version just across the Tasman Sea. This almost tastes crunchy with a huge amount of damp earth running through the core of this wine. The earth is beautifully mixed with plum and sour cranberries that transition from flavour to flavour calmly in a lingering manner.  The medium bodied palate is both silky and rambunctious which adds to the overall appeal of this gorgeous wine. This is the sort of wine that testifies to the high quality that New Zealand makes look so easy.
