The Tyler Winery 2018 Happy Canyon Claret is a wonderful surprise coming from one of the warmest spots in Santa Barbara County, where grapes like Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon can reliably ripen. This wine shows structured tannins and a rich but not decadent texture, plus plenty of fruit and earth through the mid-palate. Decant for at least thirty minutes and enjoy for years to come.
From the beginning, Justin sought to communicate the truest-self of each vineyard he sourced from, producing wines that are first and foremost elegant and balanced before any thought of weight or density. In fact, he once told me that the greatest achievement a winemaker can accomplish is to, "craft a wine of power in the absence of weight." It's clear in these wines that he accomplishes that more and more.
