2021 Cotiere Pinot Noir, Bentrock Vineyard
"The 2021 Pinot Noir Bentrock Vineyard is fabulous. This powerful, layered Pinot marries energy, tension and depth. A touch of whole clusters works well in adding savory intensity that is very much in keeping with the nervy style that is typical of this western side of the appellation. Crushed rocks, white pepper, mint, rose petal and blood orange build into the salivating finish. Superb. (Drink between 2024-2033)" -Vinous, 96VM
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.
