Wine Advocate
Reviewed April 2018The 2016 Chardonnay La Rinconada Vineyard is one of the more giving and expressive whites in Justin Willett's range this year, offering up aromas of green mango, orchard fruit and hazelnut cream. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, mouthwatering and flavorful, with a bright, chalky finish. I'd expect more texture to appear with a year or two in bottle. (WK)

Vinous
The 2016 Chardonnay La Rinconada Vineyard is another attractive wine. Here the alluvial soils yield a creamy, resonant Chardonnay endowed with notable mid-palate richness and breath, with slightly tropical-leaning notes that add layers of nuance. This is an especially inviting Chardonnay from Tyler. (AG)
Notes
Winery notes: "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."
