2018 Tyler Pinot Noir La Rinconada

Justin Willet started out at Arcadian Winery, a native of Santa Barabara, he has developed into possibly the most knowledgable person on the greatest of the greatest spots of land in Santa Barabara that make world class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. He is incredibly intuitive, while working at Arcadia, he developed a strong relationship with the caretaker of some the area’s best sites. His knowledge is so intense that he can speak about specific vines that he makes wine from. From the sites he makes wine he is completely hands on with working with his crew throughout the whole process. He keeps himself at the top of his game consulting for some of his old friends in the area plus he consults for some of finest in France: Etienne Montille of Domaine de Montille and Rudolph Peters of Champagne Pierre Peters.

Justin founded Tyler in 2005 focusing on tiny amounts of the some of the finest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay made in California today. Justin will go down as one of the greats of California wine. His prodigious talents and ability to surround himself with equally talented artisans have helped make these extraordinary wines an absolute must have for serious collectors. I have a tiny amount of the 2018 Tyler Pinot Noir La Rinconada to offer you, 97pts Parker’s WA and 96pts Decanter. One of the great single vineyards in Sta Rita Hills and in the masterful hands of Justin Willet pinnacle California Pinot Noir.
