Memorious  (1.4ha) is one of Domaine de la Côte's single site parcels, found just above the Santa Ynez River, immediately downslope of Bloom’s Field. Facing straight into the Pacific winds, the dark clay soils and exceptionally cool climate produce DDLC’s most brooding bottlings. Always welcoming and engaging, this is a delicious and generous wine with deceptively subtle force. 

94/100 - The 2022 Pinot Noir Memorious has a bit of everything a Pinot Noir lover could want: poise, focus, vibrancy and subtle structural power. The nose straddles red and black berries with a flashy but measured intensity, leading to a lacy palate that combines electric energy with seductive, subtle richness. The finish is ethereal and long, framed with weightless tannins and recalling the energy found throughout. - Matthew Luczy, Wine Advocate

94/100 - The 2022 Pinot Noir Memorious is deep, fleshy and super-expressive, as it always is. Dark red cherry/plum fruit, spice, new leather and dried herbs are all beautifully laced together. Pliant and open, the 2022 has a ton to offer. Memorious offers a combination of the elements that make Domaine de la Côte a special site, namely a mix of energy from the vineyard's west-facing aspect and textural resonance from the presence clay in the soils. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous 

 

On the nose, homey, inviting scents of ripe red fruits (think dark raspberry, wild strawberry, and sour cherry) alongside touches tea, tobacco, and cedar.

On the palate, it is texturally more tight than previous vintages. Awash with youthful energy now, this is a wine that will settle down after a few years in bottle.

Drink now - 2040.
