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. - Jim Gordon Executive Editor

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. Reviewed by: Matthew Luczy 10/24

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. - James Molesworth
