Domaine de la Côte, the cult of Pinot Noir

Domaine de la Côte is a project by Rajat Parr and Sashi Moorma, comprising six vineyards planted across 15 hectares in the far west of the Santa Rita Hills appellation in Santa Barbara County, 11 km from the Pacific Ocean. Each vineyard has its own unique geology, aspect, elevation, and microclimate—in short, its own terroir. Such variations in terroir within such close proximity are unprecedented in California.

The vineyards are cultivated using organic farming methods and the wines are made with the "add nothing, take nothing away" philosophy. The Pinot Noirs , made with whole bunches and indigenous yeasts, are of great intensity.

Often compared to the most iconic estate in Burgundy, the Pinot Noirs produced here nonetheless rank among the finest expressions on the planet.
