Tyler Pinot Noir 2020 Santa Rita Hills

100% Pinot Noir

Santa Rita Hills AVA is one of the cooler climates in Californian and here there is a more European influence on the wine making. The Pinot Noir grapes for this wine are harvested mainly from the Santa Rita Hills from exceptional vineyards. The wine is pressed to tank and then to  French oak barrels, more than 90% used. It spends 1 year on  lees, after which it is racked, blended and returned to barrel for several months. The wine is then bottled without fining or filtering.
