Antonio Galloni/Vinous – The 2014 Pinot Noir La Rinconada Vineyard presents a super-classic sense of Sta. Rita Hills exuberance, but tempered by Justin Willet's hand. Racy and forward in its fruit profile, the 2014 wraps around the palate with striking textural depth, yet there is plenty of structure to back things up. This powerful, deep Pinot could use another few years in bottle. This is the most overt and flamboyant of the Tyler Pinots.
About This Wine
Tyler is dedicated to producing wines of delicacy and balance, where structure and nuance are favored above all else. Our focus is exclusively on exceptional vineyard sites throughout the Santa Rita Hills and Santa Maria Valley within Santa Barbara County, and feel pinot noir and chardonnay are the best mediums to express each vineyard site. Within these two appellations, the unique combination of marine-based soils, transverse ranges and valleys, and cool ocean influence make this a truly wonderful place for growing pinot noir and chardonnay.
We believe wine should be elegant and honest, and must possess aromatic purity.
In order to best convey the individuality of each site, we try to be modern in our thinking and classic in our approach. Great effort had been made not only to seek out vineyards of pedigree, but also to seek out vines with age. We now work with a number of the oldest vineyard blocks in the County and believe this is essential in our quest for both purity and intesity. Furthermore, close collaboration with each of our growers along with focused, minimal handling of fruit and wine allow us the best opportunity to achieve our goals.
