Recreation of “Judgement of Paris II” blind Pinot tasting with the addition of a bonus wine from the Central Otago: pale ruby • unfortunately this bottled was corked • the structure suggests more of an Old World style, only 12.5% ABV • product of sommelier Raj Parr and winemaker Sashi Moorman

I've always loved the 2014 Bloom's Field for it's pure cherry-berry fruits, minerality and tension. It's far from a blockbuster, but instead keeps you coming back to the glass with a display that is woodland and somehow autumnal, ripe yet also wiry, precise and juicy to the core. The perfect dinner companion, so to speak, but don't rush it, because this takes a good hour to really get the conversation going. #domainedelacote #pinotnoir #staritahills

Watched Somm III while tasting this and Bodegas Chacra side by side... Didn’t quite get the hype...

Light bodied, almost translucent, red fruit, bright and fresh. Will hold for a while but very enjoyable now.

Subtle, good acidity, texture begins quite smooth and then some of the structure, and whole cluster comes through on the finish. An elegant wine.

This was the wine featured in Somm 3 that was lighter in weight, more elegant & transparent than most Pinots I have tried showing cherry, strawberry, mineral, spice & floral notes showing good balance with nothing out of place.

We roasted a duck, so I immediately went here. As Burgundian as I’ve experienced from USA though lacking a tad in complexity. Extraordinarily light. Nose is a cohesive, complex elegant perfume of rose and unripened cherry; the star of the show. Palette shows fresh cranberry, mint. Soft but expressive acid.
