title: Clos de la Tech 2012 Domaine Valeta Sunny Slope Pinot Noir (Santa Cruz Mountains)
description: Dark boysenberry, dried purple flowers, wet slate and a touch of bay leaf show on the nose of this thick and earthy bottling by the tech moguls T.J. and Valeta Rodgers. The mouthfeel is very chalky, and there is the winery's characteristic earthiness along with mocha and baking spice. But there are also brighter berry flavors, perhaps due to the sunnier slopes.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Domaine Valeta Sunny Slope
