Tyler Santa Barbara County Chardonnay 2021

95 points Wine Advocate
The 2021 Chardonnay overdelivers for its appellation-wide status. It has pretty scents of quince, poached pear, spring honey, chalk and roasted almonds. The medium-bodied palate is satiny, savory and expansive with dynamic flavor layers and a very long finish.

Sourced from Bien Nacido Vineyard, Dierberg Vineyard, La Rinconada, and Sanford & Benedict Vineyard. Whole cluster pressed to tank, settled briefly before being moved to another tank for fermentation. 100% Native Yeast Fermentation with no Battonage. Full malolactic fermentation. The wine is then aged 11 months on the lees in barrels and puncheons, 10% of which are new.
