2023 Bloom's Field

Very firm and dark, laced with graphite, ash and crushed rock aromas, then black pepper, white pepper and lean, savory mineral flavors animate the palate. Fine-grained tannins and a medium body. Here the soil is very rich in iron and volcanic minerals, giving small yields, a lean, racy texture and so much complexity. Drink or hold. (11/2024)

The coiled, intense 2023 Pinot Noir Bloom's Field is dark-fruited and floral on the nose, leading to a multidimensional palate that combines textural depth and breadth with stunning saturation and focus. The palate is vibrant and juicy yet tempered by a dark undercurrent of intense tannic structure and considerable length on the finish. This will surely take time to come around after bottling, but it should evolve into a stunning rendition of this bottling.
