Sourced from the Tyler estate vineyards Mae and Fiddlestix, the 2022 Pinot Noir Estate is one of the better regional bottlings one could hope to find in the Sta. Rita Hills. The nose is dark, poised and savory, with a silky yet sturdy palate braced with just enough tension to remain taut but not so much as to become unapproachable. It finishes on a lifted, pretty note.
The 2022 Pinot Noir Estate (Sta. Rita Hills) is a of both Mae and Fiddlestix. Floral, layered and super-expressive, this appellation Pinot punches above its weight. Crushed flowers, mint, orange peel and bright red-toned fruit all soar out of the glass. This is such a classy wine.
The 2022 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills has fragrant scents of raspberry, strawberry and blueberry with touches of blood orange, charcuterie and dried herbs. The light-bodied palate is chalky and vibrant with an understated yet perfumed core of fruit and a long, ethereal finish.
