Tyler Pinot Noir La Rinconada Vineyard Santa Rita Hills 2021 750 ML

Tyler Winery's Pinot Noir parcels sit on a high, windswept outcrop, where soils are remarkably different from their counterparts at La Encantada to the west. Though top-soil is relatively shallow, the clay loams here possess a water-holding capacity that allows them to rely very little on irrigation. La Rinconada is simply prismatic—a multifaceted, crystalline encounter with the allure of the Santa\n\nRita Hills. In this bottling they incorporate two distinct vineyard blocks: R25 provides shimmering red fruit, and R22 resonates darker, adorned with tracery of lavender and violet. The resulting wine is concentrated and sonorous; though immediately compelling, it will surely reward patience.
