Tasting notes
The 2021 Pinot Noir Fiddlestix Vineyard is a new estate wine from Tyler, which purchased the iconic vineyard in the Sta. Rita Hills in 2021. It has deep scents of cranberry sauce and red cherry preserves with accents of bergamot, allspice, autumn leaves and damp earth. The medium-bodied palate is powerful yet seamless, its concentrated, layered fruit framed by velvety tannins, and it has a fan of spicy accents across the long finish. Structurally harmonious, it will mature gracefully in bottle over the next 10-15 years.

Subtle and minerally. Lots of energy here and rather burgundian. Lots still to come. (JR)
The 2021 Pinot Noir Fiddlestix is a blend of three parcels in the property. Rich and effusive, with tons of fruit intensity, the 2021 screams with character. Red/purplish fruit, blood orange, rose petal and sweet spice are all amplified.
