The 2015 'La Côte' Pinot Noir is simply brilliant and may be one of the most impressive releases to date from Raj Parr, Sashi Moorman and the team at Domaine de la Côte. From the upper portion of the La Côte vineyard, this elegant and refined Pinot Noir begins with vivid aromatics of cranberries, pomegranate and raspberries, which are woven together with floral pastille, spices, orange zest and hints of dried soil nuances. On the palate this is finely textured and silky, focused around a tightly wound core, which is driven by bright acidity. This continues to impress with its remarkable balance and precision which take it to another level, as beautiful red fruits and florals continue to build on the vibrant finish. The La Côte is a truly special and ageworthy Pinot Noir that will only become more appealing as it evolves over time. (Best 2022-2035) - October, 2017 (JD)
