Tyler La Rinconada Vineyard Pinot Noir - Sta. Rita Hills - Red - 2018 :

 

Tyler La Rinconada: A Sta. Rita Hills Masterpiece

Hailing from the cool, coastal microclimate of the Sta. Rita Hills in California, the TYLER LA RINCONADA PINOT NOIR is a stunning example of New World Pinot Noir crafted with Old World precision. This single-vineyard expression from Tyler Winery offers a concentrated, yet beautifully refined, drinking experience.

Tasting Notes: Elegance Meets Concentration

• Appearance: A clear, medium ruby-red hue.
• Aromas: The nose is fragrant and complex, showcasing bright red berries (cherry, raspberry) intertwined with delicate floral notes (violet, black tea leaves) and a distinctive, savoury minerality reminiscent of wet stone and saline.
• Flavour Profile: Medium-bodied, with an impressive depth of fruit on the mid-palate. The texture is chalky and tense, supported by fine-grained tannins and a crisp acidity that maintains purity and focus right through to an ethereal, long finish. A truly energetic wine.
• Investment Potential: This wine is built to last. Lay down bottles for 5 years or more to allow complex earthy and spice notes to fully develop.

Food Pairing & Decanting

This is a wine that commands attention. Decant for 30 minutes before serving to soften the structure and fully express its aromatic complexity.

• Pairings: Roast Duck with Plum Sauce, Game Pie (Venison or Partridge), Aged Gruyère Cheese.
• Serve At: 14-16°C (Slightly cooler than room temperature).
