Clos de la Tech Domaine du Docteur Rodgers Pinot Noir is a premium wine produced by Clos de la Tech, a renowned winery in the Santa Cruz Mountains appellation of California. The wine is made from Pinot Noir grapes grown in the estate's Domaine du Docteur Rodgers vineyard, which is known for its steep slopes and unique soil composition. The winemaking process involves hand-harvesting the grapes, fermenting them with native yeasts, and aging the wine in French oak barrels for over a year. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant expression of Pinot Noir, with notes of dark fruit, earth, and spice, and a silky texture that lingers on the palate.

The North Coast of California boasts some of the most renowned vineyards and wineries in the world. Located in the northern part of the state, the North Coast is home to the Napa Valley, Sonoma County, and Mendocino County, all of which are recognised for their exceptional wines.
The North Coast of California has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The region was first planted with vines by Spanish missionaries, who planted Mission grapes in the area. In the late 1800s, Italian immigrants began to settle in the region, bringing with them their own grape varieties and winemaking techniques. By the early 1900s, the North Coast had become a major wine-producing region, with many of the wineries still in operation today.
