As I wrote last year, 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. It has developed a slightly more lush texture since my previous tasting before bottling, a generosity balanced by vivid streaks of salinity rendered in high fidelity. There is a cascading and finessed nature to the finish here that I suspect will continue to blossom well into its second decade in the cellar.

The 2023 Pinot Noir Bloom's Field is a gorgeous, multidimensional wine that reflects the excellence of this site. Vibrant dark berry fruit, underbrush and saline, marine-inflected nuances meld together effortlessly. An inky, iodine/oyster shell note hangs around on the close, but what impresses most in 2023 is the persistence of the juicy, lifted acidity. This is an excellent edition of Bloom's.
