2023 Tyler Pinot Noir, Santa Barbara County

The 2023 Tyler Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara County is an expressive, cool-climate California Pinot crafted by Tyler Winery, a producer known for its focus on purity, balanced extraction and site-driven fruit. It offers bright aromas of cherry, cranberry and rhubarb with subtle notes of herb, spice and earth, leading to a medium-bodied palate that is both juicy and refined, with lifted acidity and fine, gently drying tannins. The texture is silky with a savory edge that enhances its complexity while keeping it approachable. This Pinot pairs beautifully with roasted poultry, grilled salmon, mushroom dishes, pork tenderloin or wood-fired pizzas, making it versatile at the table and enjoyable on its own.
