Domaine de la Côte
Domaine de la Cote is a new project headed by Rajat Parr and Sashi Moorman that springs from Evening Land's decision to sell off their estate vineyards in the Santa Rita Hills. Parr and Moorman purchased those vineyards and founded Domaine de la Cote. The style here places a little more emphasis on whole clusters in fermentation. Because Domaine de la Cote only works with estate fruit, Parr and Moorman have much more control over critical decisions in the vineyards and feel more comfortable using a higher percentage of stems relative to the wines they bottle at Sandhi, all of which are made from purchased fruit. The Domaine de la Cote Pinots also see longer time in barrel than the Sandhi Pinots. All three of the 2011 Pinots seemed quite raw when I tasted them in May, so I am curious to see how they show with more bottle age. One vintage, and a highly challenging one at that, is hardly enough to make any meaningful assessments, but right now Domaine de la Cote looks like it is a work in progress. Given what Parr and Moorman have achieved elsewhere, my hunch is that it is only a matter of time before Domaine de la Cote is firing on all cylinders.
