Description

Tasting Notes

A glorious Bloom’s Field, singing with high-pitched fruit, bright and clear notes of red fruit and white flower, and an underlying sensation of clarity and precision. Aromas and flavors feel magnified and sharp—closeups of raspberry, strawberry, and cherry—garlanded with herbal suggestions of mint, basil, and tarragon. Texturally viscous and plush, the wine feels round and dense with stuffing, livened by a bolt of acidity, before a rush of flavorful tannins anchors the entire structure.

“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.”

“Mulberry and raspberry fruit leads the way in this red, with flashes of iris and hibiscus peeking in. There’s a rapier of fresh acidity for spine while bay leaf, savory and wet slate notes add underlying tension throughout. The lovely pinpoint finish has a steady persistence. Best from 2026 through 2038. 727 cases made.—J.M.”

“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.”
