Tyler is dedicated to producing wines of delicacy and balance, where structure and nuance are favored above all else. Our focus is exclusively on exceptional vineyard sites throughout the Santa Rita Hills and Santa Maria Valley within Santa Barbara County, and feel pinot noir and chardonnay are the best mediums to express each vineyard site. Within these two appellations, the unique combination of marine-based soils, transverse ranges and valleys, and cool ocean influence make this a truly wonderful place for growing pinot noir and chardonnay.

Tyler is dedicated to producing wines of delicacy and balance, where structure and nuance are favored above all else. During production, the team tries not to over-extract but chooses to use more neutral oak in order for the fruit to fully express itself. Tyler Winery produces approximately 7500 cases.

"The 2020 Chardonnay La Rinconada Vineyard is a singular wine with exotic expression this vintage. It begins with haunting notions of chaparral and sagebrush, next offering white peaches, spring honey, roasted almonds and matchstick scents. The generous palate balances intellectual intrigue with sheer deliciousness, featuring satiny waves of herbal fruit that continue to evolve over a tremendously long finish. I love this hedonistic expression and would be inclined to drink it on the earlier side."
