2008 Clos de la Tech, Domaine Valeta 'Sunny Slope' Pinot Noir, Santa Cruz Mountains   

Domaine Valeta is a four-acre, 2,300-foot ridge in the Santa Cruz Mountains that gets snow in the winter. The mountaintop vineyard is on the first peak to the west of the famous Ridge Monte Bello vineyard. The cool mountain weather extends the growing season, giving Domaine Valeta the biggest body and darkest color of any Clos de la Tech wine.
