Current Vintage: 2021
Grapes: 100% Pinot Noir
Founded by winemaker Justin Willett in 2005, Tyler Winery has become one of Santa Barbara County's most exciting producers of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Inspired by the elegance of Burgundy, Justin focuses on cool-climate vineyards, restrained winemaking and wines that favour freshness and finesse over sheer power. The result is a distinctly Californian expression of Pinot Noir with a wonderfully Burgundian sensibility.
Tyler's Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir brings together fruit from carefully selected vineyards across the region, where cooling Pacific breezes and long growing seasons allow the grapes to develop flavour while retaining natural acidity. Gentle extraction and thoughtful oak ageing preserve the delicacy of the fruit, creating a wine that's expressive, balanced and approachable.
Fresh red cherry, wild strawberry and raspberry meet rose petals, subtle spice and a hint of woodland earth. The palate is silky and energetic, with fine tannins, bright acidity and a delicate savoury quality that adds complexity. There's an appealing purity to the fruit, leading to a graceful, refreshing finish. Delicious with roast chicken, duck, grilled salmon or wild mushroom dishes. A terrific introduction to Tyler's wines, and a lovely example of Santa Barbara's more elegant side.
