Domaine de la Côte
Domaine de la Côte consists of five vineyards, exclusively planted to California heritage selection clones of Pinot Noir. The property is owned by famed sommelier Raj Parr and winemaker Sashi Moorman who also collaborate at the Sandhi winery (where fruit is sourced via grower partners). The vineyards of Domaine de la Côte were established in 2007 to high density at elevation in the far western reaches of the Sta Rita Hills. In a short period, these ltd volume, single vineyard expressions have become some of the most revered and sought-after of the region.
Description
"The 2021 Pinot Noir Estate includes some destemmed fruit in an otherwise 100% whole cluster house, making it a touch more approachable than the single-vineyard cuvees. Pale ruby in colour, it offers pure pomegranate, blueberries and bitter orange aromas with touches of gravel dust. The light-bodied palate is elegantly structured with powdery tannins and fresh acidity, boasting generous fruits and a long, citrus tinged finish.” Wine Advocate
