"This has great tension between the bold, dramatic fruit and mineral flavors and the chalky, firm and brightly crisp texture. Laced with layers of red and black cherries and vivid raspberries, with strawberries in the finish. All backed by nervy acidity and moderate tannins for a sense of tension and linearity."

"This is tightly coiled, with bitter cherry and damson plum fruit that is pure and unadorned, while savory, flint and sanguine flecks dart through. The long finish shows a tensile structure that lends a sense of precision and mouthwatering cut. Have patience with cellaring. Best from 2026 through 2036."J.M."

"The 2023 Pinot Noir Sea Field is a powerful, intensely mineral wine. Iron, gravel, red-toned fruit and rose petal are all finely sculpted. Salivating acids and a spine of searing tannins give the Sea Field its shape and insistent, driving personality. Bright saline notes extend the nuanced, bracing finish. This nervy Pinot needs time in bottle to be at its most expressive."

"The 2023 Pinot Noir Sea Field bursts from the glass with an alluring perfume of strawberry, raspberry, tangerine, tea leaves and gravel dust. The medium-bodied palate is pure and delicate, offering concentration without weight and silky tannins. Its vibrant acidity is seamlessly integrated, and it has a long, latent finish."

"The 2024 Pinot Noir Sea Field is powerful and tightly wound. Dark-toned fruit, leather, cedar, spice, incense and dried rose petal infuse the 2024 with tons of complexity. This potent, deep Pinot Noir packs a tremendous punch. There's a lot of wine here, but this needs time to soften and for the mid-palate to emerge. There's a striking, crystalline purity here."
