2005 | Clos de la Tech Valeta Sunny Slope | Santa Cruz En Caradeux with lovely rich ripe fruit

with lovely rich ripe fruit and crisp acidity

and citric acidity

The presence of red fruits in the mouth is undeniable

and a few nubby tannins

iron and hay mark this luscious red

2005 | Clos de la Tech Valeta Sunny Slope | Santa Cruz En Caradeux with lovely rich ripe fruitThe aromatic and flavor profiles of this series of aged to release wines, grown on a dramatic slope atop the Santa Cruz Mountains, are unlike any others. Scents of moist earth and turned loam meet with dried mint, chocolate, soy and black cherry reduction on the nose. The palate adds juniper, mulch, pepper and plum to the mix, framed by a firm tannic structure and yet soft mouthfeel. 93 Pts Wine Enthusiast
