Bloom’s Field is from a 7 ½ acre parcel of iron-laden clay loam over shale that lies on the western edge of Domaine and faces just to the south with clear view to the Pacific Ocean and therefore is unprotected from the marine influences of wind and fog. These conditions reflect in this 2014 Pinot Noir from Bloom’s Field. This is an absolutely gorgeous showing, impressive for its elegant character as it begins with pretty aromas of red berries and pomegranate followed by blood orange, zesty spices, smoke and rose petals all taking shape in the glass. This is light to Medium-bodied and beautifully textured with silky tannins and continues to demonstrate excellent precision and balance all the way through the exquisite finish. This will be best with some additional bottle age as it will continue to develop and gain complexities over the next few years. (Best 2018-2025) - May, 2016 (JD)
