Clos De La Tech
Santa Cruz Mountains Estate Pinot Noir
Santa Cruz Mountains, San Francisco Bay, California, USA
Ruby red color, slight dark edges, with aromas of red fruits, forest floor and floral spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and raspberry with cedar notes, tea, cola, black pepper, cinnamon spice and earthy herbs. Full-bodied, fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit, sweet oak and a spicy earthy character.

Pinot with lots of depth and intensity. Earthy notes and dark fruit. Enjoyable. Possibly more so on night two.

2018 vintage. CDLT style is massive bigly (mostly dark) fruit with solid tannins but a minimized oak presence. Resto cost $25. A producer to watch. This be jamming. 6.5.24.

Jun 5th, 20242017 vintage. Medium-heavy body. Some spice. Plenty of fruit. Not lacking for skeletal structure. Drinking beautifully now. A producer to keep both eyes on. 1.10.24.

The intense nose shows a nice mix of ripe blackberry and blueberry with fresh raspberry. Notes of steeped black tea, forest floor, and violet too. The palate is more supple than the nose suggested, but remains lively with good fruit intensity and fresh acidity. The tannins are still quite firm at almost 10 years.
A powerful PN with finesses and nuances.
The winery, with one of the steepest vineyards in the US and high tech equipment, was founded by the CEO of a prominent semiconductor company.

I think this is my first time tasting a Pinot Noir from the Santa Cruz Mountains. Let me tell you, this 2012 Pinot Noir from Clos de la Tech has aged well! 🍷 A funky nose with aromas of strawberries, some plum, and aged red wine notes of mushrooms, wet earth and truffle. I love a good funky Pinot Noir! 🍷

Most balanced of the lineup, though still overextracted with an unnatural darkness of fruit
