2021 Tyler ‘Estate’ Pinot Noir St. Rita Hills

WA95 The 2021 Pinot Noir Estate comes from the Mae Estate and the Fiddlestix Vineyard, which Tyler proprietor Justin Tyler Willett recently purchased. It has alluring scents of raspberry, cranberry, orange peel, tea leaves and gravel dust with undertones of mushroom and earth. The medium-bodied palate is chalky and vibrant, its red berry fruit accented by striking floral character. It has a long, latent finish and will benefit from 2-3+ years in bottle.
