2018 Côtiere Pinot Noir, Santa Rita Hills
A consistent favorite at Velvet 48, Côtiere always over-delivers and the Santa Rita Hills is no exception.
Kevin Law grew up in Santa Barbara and studied Meteorology & Geology at UC Santa Barbara so it only makes sense that he makes wine in Santa Barbara! He founded Côtière (which means ‘coastal’ in French) in 2006 with a focus on Pinot Noir. All the while, he has quietly made a name for himself by crafting pure, restrained, very well-balanced wines appreciated by wine critics and wine enthusiasts alike.
