Domaine de la Côte Sta. Rita Hills Bloom’s Field Pinot Noir 2022

The Bloom’s Field (3ha) parcel spans a south-west facing hillside, grown on lighter clay topsoils and producing a sharper wine of striking clarity. One of estate's most consistently celebrated wines, this cuvée is revered for its airy, mid-weight character and expressive fruit notes. While loaded with youthful zest, the wine will reward the patient as these elements integrate and grow with complexity over many years.

94+/100 - The 2022 Pinot Noir Bloom's Field is the most red-fruited and floral of the roster, opening on a reserved note but ceaselessly escalating in intensity. The palate takes a dramatically powerful, saturated turn into a slow-moving, opulent yet classy finish that ceaselessly builds tannic power without adding an ounce of weight. Serious and unyielding despite its deceptively delicate framing, this merits time in the cellar to unwind but should evolve wonderfully over the next decade. - Matthew Luczy, Wine Advocate

94/100 - The 2022 Pinot Noir Bloom's Field is bright, punchy and alluring. Red-toned fruit, chalk, mint, spice and dried flowers infuse this savory, mineral-driven Pinot with tons of character. The 2022 is nervy and taut to its core, but another year in bottle should do the trick. Hints of white pepper, blood orange and pomegranate linger on the vibrant, translucent finish. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous
