Luksuriøs og kølig enkeltmarks Pinot Noir med 96 point fra Robert Parker.
Denne elegante Pinot Noir stammer fra den ikoniske Fiddlestix Vineyard – en tidligere blomsterfarm, plantet i 1997 tæt på Stillehavets kølige briser. Med naboer som Sanford & Benedict-marken og jordbund bestående af lerjord blandet med Monterey-skifer, hører netop terroiret her til blandt det mest eftertragtede i Santa Rita Hills.
Tylers forrygende fortolkning af Fiddlestix er blot produceret i mikroskopiske mængder med 332 kasser i alt.
Resultatet er derimod kæmpestor. En utrolig fin Pinot Noir med saftig, ren rød frugt, vibrerende krydderi og et energisk, mineralsk udtryk. Gæret med naturlig gær og delvist hele klaser i åbne fade for at fremhæve vinens finesse og autenticitet.

The 2022 Pinot Noir Fiddlestix Vineyard is a high point of a beautiful lineup, showcasing both Tyler's high-fidelity winemaking and the pedigree of this famed vineyard site now part of the estate roster. The darkest, most brooding nose in the range, the aromas here are almost sweet in their concentration but offer a balancing, savory energy. The palate is driven by an umami-like richness, with immense confidence and intensity. It finishes with decadent fruit flavors surrounded by woody, drying tannins that continue to swell with aeration. This wine shows another level of richness than is typical in the Tyler lineup, and it should have an impressive aging trajectory.
Vinous - 94
The 2022 Pinot Noir Fiddlestix is laced with dark cherry, plum, mocha, spice and licorice. Forward and juicy, with tons of immediacy, the Fiddlestix is very nicely balanced. There's gorgeous mid-palate structure and overall resonance here. The 2022 is impeccable. This is the first site Justin Willett picks. The style is on the more forward, juicy side for Tyler, which is likely attributable to the Dijon clones planted here.
