Wine Description
With an outstanding score of 97 points from James Suckling, Domaine de la Cote’s Bloom’s Field Pinot Noir 2021 is a wine of remarkable quality and distinction. This vintage showcases the winery’s dedication to producing exceptional Pinot Noir, crafted under the expertise of renowned winemakers Rajat Parr and Sashi Moorman.
In the glass, the wine displays a pale ruby color that immediately captivates the eye. On the nose, the aromas are both inviting and complex, with ripe fruit notes of perfectly ripened strawberries and dark berries mingling harmoniously with hints of ginger, rose, carnation, and turned earth. A subtle eucalyptus leaf presence adds a refreshing touch to the bouquet.
The wine’s taste profile is a testament to its excellence, earning it an impressive 97 points from Wine Enthusiast. The palate is full-bodied and densely structured, exuding power and finesse in equal measure. Tightly wound dark-fruit flavors take center stage, complemented by intriguing notes of kalamata olive, strong, dank herb flavors, and oolong tea.
Though muscular and formed, this Pinot Noir possesses firm tannins that indicate its potential for aging gracefully. It’s a wine that demands patience, requiring some time to soften and develop further complexity, as noted by James Suckling. With a finish underscored by uplifting citrusy tones, the wine’s more ethereal style sets it apart from other 2021 Pinot Noirs, earning it 94 points from Wine Advocate.
Wine Spectator lauds this vintage with 93 points, praising its juicy and well-knit core of cherry and damson plum flavors. The fruit plays out elegantly with chalky minerality, accompanied by a subtle hint of grilled herbs. The acidity is beautifully balanced, contributing to a steady and persistent finish.

Jeff Steinberger –
Exotic, seductive nose with cherry, mango, tangerine, sweet herbs, mint, floral undergrowth, and gravel dust. Youthful, enjoyable palate with red berry, orange peel, blueberry skins. Long, exotic finish with red fruits and minerality. Beautiful wine.
Terrell Dickerson –
Smooth and stunning, with deep flavors of ripe raspberry and strawberry.
Bryan Jackson –
Dark ruby. Intense raspberry, mint, orange rind, sage, crushed rock nose. Tart red berries and pomegranate flavors with savory green herbs, saline, and cracked pepper. Lively acidity, chalky tannins, and a long finish. Letting others rest for a year or two.
Tori Pooley –
Impressive wine with textured notes of cherry, earth and gravel, showcasing the soil and vineyard location. Tannins open up with air, great acidity. A delicious and drinkable California Pinot Noir.
Inez Ball –
Kutch/Parr Seminar: Ripe cherries, sea air, wood smoke, raspberry, and florals on the nose. Saline notes, red berries, creamy texture on the palate. Long finish with good red fruit and saline notes. Harmonious and less ripe than La Cote, better than Memorious.
Martha Larson –
Fantastic California Pinot Noir with balanced ripeness and oak. Expressive fruit flavors reflect the vineyard’s terroir. Earthy, mineral notes with a hint of smoke. Medium plus acid adds definition and freshness. Texturally elegant with a lingering finish. Enjoyable now, and will age well until 2027+.
William Murphy –
Complex and mineral-driven, this Old World wine surprises with forest floor and mushroom notes. Long finish.
Susan Marshall –
Impressive Domaine. Earthy, red cherry core, dusty tannins, great aromatics and body. Elegance and strength combined. Captivating, with old world character in California grapes.
William Waters –
Light and transparent with high-quality red berries, herbs, rhubarb, and white chocolate. Balanced and complex. Youthful orange-like acidity and elegant tannins. Surprisingly approachable now. Recommended, but has room to improve.
Kymberly Stiltner –
Forest floor, candied red fruit, mild pepper. Pleasant tannins. Great stuff!
Betty Mcmullin –
Extravagant nose of ripe berries, Cola, smoke, and sweet oak. Great mouthfeel. Big Pinot, balanced acidity. Perfect with grilled salmon. Ages well, improves over time.
Paul Morse –
The wine has a slightly reductive nose but shows depth and potential. It offers rich flavors of ripe berries, spices, earth, and a touch of oak. Medium concentration with delicate fruit and fine tannins. A great wine that will benefit from more aging.
Johnny Jones –
Seductive with strawberry, cherry, currant. Fresh, long, mineral and concentrated. Great wine!
Calvin Kiger –

Good wine, well-made, aromatic, balanced acidity. Vegetal element present, reminiscent of cooked rhubarb. Some may enjoy it, but not my personal preference.
Rosemary Simpson –
Tasted at Skurnik Grand Portfolio Tasting in NYC. 100% whole cluster fermented. Earthy red fruit, minerals. Creamy texture, minerally, spicy strawberry, red cherry. Moderately long finish. Needs cellar until 10th birthday. Glorious for a decade and a half. Burgundian style with good Cali fruit.

Fantastic PN with teasing acidity and tannins. Only 12.5% alcohol. Stem/maceration magic, crunchy, salty, and floral. Beautiful garnet color. Evolving bouquet. Impressive layers. Sad to have only 11 more, but ecstatic for more.
Anna Holmes –
Perfectly balanced with fruity elegance, this wine is a great choice for birthdays.
Sean Wright –
Domaine de la Côte New Release Tasting: Slow-oxed wine, translucent ruby color. Nose reveals vanilla, earthy cherry, and gamy notes. Palate has medium acidity, low to medium tannin, lean and savory/herbal with earthy lavender, red fruit, game meat, and baking spices. Balanced, long finish. Best enjoyed after 10 years.
Scott Amador –
Domaine de la Côte New Release: Floral and mineral nose, red berries and pomegranate on the palate. Good structure, layered with florals and cherry finish. Elegant, lacks depth of La Côte bottling.
Herbert Stephenson –
Review: Vibrant garnet color with pink edges. Herbaceous nose, baked plum and raspberry notes. Medium acidity, low tannins, slightly tart with an earthy body. Surprisingly thick for a Pinot. Complex and intriguing.

Seductive, fruity nose. Balanced, silky mouthfeel. Elegant and cool style. Magical with age. Beautiful achievement.
Freeda Queen –
Subtle and earthy aroma, like the memorius. Soft and acidic with hints of stems. Cool, rich finish. Needs more time in bottle, but could be excellent.
Steven Kyle –
Decanted 3 hrs. Kathleen bought this due to Raj Parr’s background. Tightly coiled, resembling a young Cristom Pinot. Low acidity but structured. Possibly whole cluster, with a wild edge from stems. Enjoyable deep black raspberry with a touch of white pepper on the finish. Will age well. Liked it.
Gordon Jackson –

Rajat Parr’s dark PN is complex, with layers of red fruit and hints of cigar. Give it a couple of years for an even better experience.

Vinous 98! Classic style, reminiscent of the stock market last November. A truly exceptional Cali Pinot with savory darkness and rich fruit depth, unlike any Burgundy.

Dudley Kroes –
Fantastic Pinot Noir.
Betty Davis –
Great wine with a clear ruby color and a nice nose of red and darkening fruit, leather, and dried violets. Medium-bodied with medium+ acid and light tannins. Aging red fruit, touch of leather, violet, and spice. Medium to long finish. Will hold up longer, excited to see it in a year.
Ann Neil –
Disagreeing with previous ratings, this DLC pinot noir is a beautiful choice.
Margaret Duncan –
Delightful pinot. Herbal, savory, mineral. Long aftertaste.
Michael Hall –
93 pts for a light-bodied Pinot Noir. Tannic at first, but opened up beautifully after 1.5 hrs. Delicate complexity with wild berries and earthy notes. Soft tannins with medium-low acidity. Great finish. Good value at $115. Enjoyment: 9/10. Maybe would buy again.
Leland Schiavo –
Outstanding wine, courtesy of DLC.

Approachable and balanced, this young wine is rich and full. Great now, with potential to reach 94-95 points. Promises a long life.

Complex and exceptional. Paired well with spicy shrimp, rice pilaf, and salad. Savory nose, medium acidity, medium tannins, lengthy finish.
John Mathis –
Wow! This wine is a medium red with a nose reminiscent of strawberries and Rayas. It is extremely refined on the palate, although still quite young.
Carolyn Edwards –
Exceptional.
