2010 Clos Tita Estate Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir
14.5% alc., pH 3.9, TA 0.6, <100 cases, $36.
Clones 15, 777, 113 and 114. 15% whole cluster. Aged 23 months in 50% new French oak barrels.
·
This wine
was a stand out among all those tasted at the Grand Cruz Tasting. Amazing dark fruit purity that attacks the
mid palate with a vengeance, coats every nook and cranny in the mouth, and leaves a lasting impression. Still
sporting muscular tannins and will benefit from more bottle age, but this is a knock out, especially at this
modest price. Exceptional.

2005 Clos Tita Cuvée Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir
14.5%
alc., $30. Sourced from Clos Tita and Branciforte Ridge vineyards.
·
Well-endowed reddish-purple robe. Deep, darker fruits on the nose
with hints of pepper, cardamon and raisin. Ripe dark stone fruits,
especially black cherry, highlighted by black truffle. Beautifully
composed and balanced with gossamer tannins and a very smooth
and silky texture. Hard not to like this Pinot.

2004 Clos Tita Santa Cruz Mountains Cuvee Pinot Noir
14.5% alc..
·
Aromas and flavors of warm cherry cobbler, cranberry and cassis. The mouth feel is soft and
gentle and the wine goes down easy, ending in dusty oak tannins.

2004 Clos Tita Estate Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir
15.6% alc., $37. A touch of Chardonnay and Viognier from the estate vineyard
is included in this wine.
·
This is a vin de guard wine for the mountains. Complex and rich aromas of
cherries, soy and some savage lead to a deep dark cherry and cassis palate with appealing pepper flavors
and earthy overtones. Even at this high alcohol, there is enough fruit and tannin for balance. Needs
an essay.

2003 Clos Tita Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir
14.0% alc..
·
Very attractive scents of bright red cherry, sawdust
and cinnamon spice. Delicious cherry core with cranberry, raspberry, and earthy notes. Still has some
tannins on a moderately lengthy finish and needs food to blunt the tannins.
