This captures the essence of Californian Pinot Noir, with ripe berry fruit, bright aromatics and lots of silky tannin. But theres a nod here to Pinots Burgundian homelands, too, with subtle earthy character and hints of dried red fruits on the finish. Tyler is a young-ish project, from the incredibly talented Justin Willett, started from scratch in 2005 with just a few barrels to his name and is already amongst the leading names of Californian Pinot and Chardonnay producers.
