2020 Cotiere Chardonnay, Sanford & Benedict Vineyard
"From one of the top sites in the region, the 2020 Chardonnay Sanford & Benedict Vineyard offers lots of pure melon, candied lemon, white flowers, and a touch of mint to go with a medium-bodied, supple, nicely textured, and impeccably balanced style on the palate. It should evolve for a solid decade. These Cotiere releases are made by Kevin Law and focus on vineyards in the Sta. Rita Hills. The wines are all destemmed, with the use of new oak kept in the 15%-25% range. These are classy, elegant wines that show their place of origin. " -Jeb Dunnuck, 92JD
Côtière's success stems from working exact rows, blocks and clones within the vineyards they source from, so that small adjustments in farming techniques during the season can ensure the best fruit it sourced. "We are very fortunate to be involved with some of the best vineyards on the central coast, which includes Talley Rincon Vineyard, Presqu’ile, Hilliard Bruce, La Encantada, Murmur Vineyard as well as La Rinconada and Sanford and Benedict for all our Burgundy varietals. Working with Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir along side Santa Maria Valley is incredibly rewarding due to their unique expressions. Our primary goal is to capture that unique expression in every bottle made.
