James Suckling: 97 Points
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.
Wine Spectator: 95 Points
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.
Wine Advocate: 94-96 Points
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.
