Bloom's Field Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2018

Somm David T
9.4

First up, this is made by Master Sommelier-Raj Parr & his business partner Sashi Moorman. I studied for my Sommeliers test one day with Raj.

Second, this is one of few Santa Rita Hills I like. Most are over extracted for me. IMHO, many taste like Cabernet-Pinot blends. This is not. It is more Burgundian in style.

The 2018 is starting to come around. It shows some nice evolution & integration.

Lush & ripe entry of; blackberries, dark cherries, both plums, strawberries, black raspberries, raspberries, cranberries, dry herbs are bountiful, mid, dark spice, a touch of smoke, grilled meats, moist clay, limestone, dry top soil, some menthol, eucalyptus w/ bark, mid berry cola, red, dark, blue & purple florals for days, excellent round acidity, nice; tension, structure, balance & elegant finish that lands on spice & softened earth that lasts nearly two-minutes.

California Rosé Blend 2020

This rose is definitely fruit forward and delicious. I'm a fan of dry and crisp roses, flat top did not disappoint. Solid body and clean finish. Will be stocking up on this one — 2 years ago

Domaine Serene

Evenstad Reserve Dundee Hills Chardonnay 2014

Pale to mid Lemon in colour. Initial notes of Vanilla Oak - a bit of leesy funk. Palate is medium plus intensity with some citrus and ripe grapefruit - generous with minerality and good length - a buttery note on the palate. An excellent new world Chardonnay from Oregon. This was Wine #2 in Wine Spectators Top 100 for 2016. — 5 years ago

Obsidian Ridge

Volcanic Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Grapes from Red Hills Lake County. Lots of structure on top of cassis, blackberry, licorice, and cinnamon. Great concentration and consistency for Cali Cab in this range. Might be too broad shouldered for your average fruit bomber. — 7 months ago

Cameron Winery

Reserve Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 2012

Well, s*!t. That Charmes was spectacular, but this is next-level good. More umami, more spice, more funk, but never over-the-top. — 5 years ago
