2022 Sonoma Coast Bloomfield Vineyard Pinot Noir
2022 Pinot Noir
93 Points
"Located in the Sebastopol Hills, the 2022 Pinot Noir Bloomfield Vineyard is packed with notes of resinous herbs, black raspberries, juniper spice, and toasted cedar. Medium bodied, it offers ripe tannins and a lovely, weightless, elegant feel, with good length on the palate and notes of tea leaf on the finish. It’s going to drink well over the next 8-10 years."
About This Wine
Located along the rolling hills Southwest of the town of Sebastopol, Bloomfield is on the cool fringe of Pinot Noir winegrowing. Fog and wind pulled in by the Petaluma Gap lead to gorgeous foggy mornings that delay ripening, making Bloomfield one of the last vineyards we pick. The sandy soils provide very good drainage and reduce vigor considerably, which typically results in crop loads of 1-2 tons per acre. The flavors of this wild landscape translate into the glass beautifully, with bramble, Earth and floral tones that are distinctly “west-county”.
