Tyler Fiddlestix Vineyard Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2022

The 2022 Pinot Nair Fiddlestix Vineyard is a high point of a beautiful lineup, showcasing both Tyler's high-fidelity winemaking and the pedigree of this famed vineyard site now part of the estate roster. The darkest, most brooding nose in the range, the aromas here are almost sweet in their concentration but offer a balancing, savory energy. The palate is driven by an umami-like richness, with immense confidence and intensity. It finishes with decadent fruit flavors surrounded by woody, drying tannins that continue to swell with aeration. This wine shows another level of richness than is typical in the Tyler lineup, and it should have an impressive aging trajectory.
