In 1971, the first pioneering vineyards in Santa Barbara were planted at Sanford & Benedict ranch. For over 40 years now, this iconic vineyard has set the standard for quality in the region and is also home to the oldest Pinot Noir vines in the county. The 2021 Pinot Noir made by Justin Willett at Tyler Winery takes full advantage of this historic vineyard vinified with 75% whole clusters and matured in 100% French oak. Complex aromatics of pomengranate and raspberry meet nuances of woodsmoke, tobacco and mushroom. With a medium-bodied palate of layered fruit, earth and spice flavors framed by chalky tannins and juicy acidity this wine is exhibits fantastic balance and complexity.
