About Tyler Winery
When it comes to American Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Sonoma tends to hog the limelight, leaving readers at risk of overlooking Santa Rita Hills AVA, a region capable of yielding Burgundian-like expressions of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Way back in 1971 when it was still trendy for Californian Chardonnays to be all oaky and buttery, business partners Richard Sanford and Michael Benedict decided that they wanted to produce a more lean and structured / Burgundian expression instead. They found the climate they were looking for in Santa Rita Hills AVA, and were the first to plant the Sanford & Benedict vineyard with Pinot Noir vines. These are now reportedly the oldest Pinot Noir vines in the county!
Since then, other vineyards such as the La Rinconada have also been planted and are widely considered to be the benchmark of the region. Located just beside the Sanford & Benedict vineyard, the La Rinconada vineyard has a slightly different soil composition know to produce a “more earthy expression of Pinot Noir” (Marisa D'Vari).

Vinous (89)The 2014 Chardonnay (Santa Barbara County) is a super-polished appellation-level Chardonnay. Pear, white flowers and mint give the 2014 its brightness and aromatic lift. This is an especially appealing, mid-weight Chardonnay built on freshness. I would prefer to drink the 2014 over the next few years. The key vineyard sites are Bien Nacido, Dierberg, La Rinconada, Zotovich and Sanford & Benedict, with an increasing reliance on Santa Maria fruit. |

Wine Advocate (95+)The 2021 Chardonnay La Rinconada Vineyard blossoms dramatically as it spends time in the glass, opening with saline and crème fraîche before blossoming to apricot, roasted almonds and honey. The medium-bodied palate combines expansive, honeyed flavors with a vibrant spine of acidity and a singular, chalky texture. It has complex flinty undertones and a long, nutty finish. It will benefit from 3-5 years' development in bottle. |
