2016 Domaine de la Cote Bloom’s Field Pinot Noir – 750ml
2016 Domaine de la Cote Bloom’s Field Pinot Noir
Domaine de la Côte is a collection of six vineyards planted over 40 acres on the farthest western edge of the Sta. Rita Hills appellation. Originally part of the Evening Land Vineyards program, the Domaine was purchased by Raj Parr and Sashi Moorman, along with their partner, at the beginning of 2013. Moorman discovered the site and developed the vineyards with Chris King in 2007.
Under his direction, the vineyards were planted entirely to California heritage selections at extremely high vine densities between 4,000 and 7,000 vines per acre. The Domaine organically farms its vineyards and makes its wines with the philosophy of “add nothing; take nothing away.”

| Robert Parker | From a vineyard just across from the Memorious vineyard, the 2013 Pinot Noir Bloom’s Field has a similar saltiness to the straight Sta. Rita Hills (the estate) release, yet has much more purity and focus to both the aromatics and flavors. Showing almost Burgundian notes of sous bois, pepper, rose petal and cherry and darker berry fruits, it’s elegant and lively on the palate, with an attractive, focused and lengthy finish. |

| Antonio Galloni | 93 AG – The 2013 Pinot Noir Bloom’s Field is utterly beguiling from the very first taste. Layers of flavor build through the mid-palate and finish, where the 2013 shows a real sense of verticality in its structure. Dark red cherry, plum, spice and new leather meld into the expressive finish. The co-fermentation of Calera and Mount Eden clones, along with the unique personality of this site yield a Pinot Noir long on complexity and nuance. Today, the Bloom’s Field appears to be holding back much of its power. There is plenty of potential here. The 2013 was done with 90% stems, all nicely integrated. |
