Tyler Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills 2019

Producer notes: “Comprised predominately of fruit from the Santa Rita Hills and the balance from Santa Maria Valley. Only the highest quality fruit is used from exceptional parcels around the County. Extremely mineral. Crushed rock, bright cherry, wet earth, game.”

Not yet reviewed; 2018 vintage rated 92 points by Antonio Galloni (Vinous): “The 2018 Pinot Noir (Santa Barbara County) is gorgeous. A rush of sweet floral and red berry notes makes a strong opening statement. Rose petal, red berry, blood orange and mint are all laced together in a Pinot of exquisite harmony and total finesse. I would give it another year or two in bottle to fully come together. Drink: 2020-2030.”
