2023 Tyler Pinot Noir La Rinconada Vineyard

The 2023 Pinot Noir La Rinconada Vineyard echoes its Chardonnay counterpart in its combination of textural power and clear-cut, mineral-driven energy. It wafts from the glass with lifted, herbal notes, supported by perfumed, candied dark-fruit aromas along with rhubarb and anise accents. The palate is sleek, tensile and saturated, concluding with a taut, refined, subtly toasted finish that lingers with earthy undertones. Due to the Tyler team's track record with this site, I can easily see this adding even more dimension and complexity after more time in bottle.
