WINE DESCRIPTION

Tyler Happy Canyon Vineyard Claret is produced by Tyler Winery in California. The wine is made from grapes grown in the Happy Canyon Vineyard located in the Santa Ynez Valley appellation, known for its warm climate with cooling ocean influences. The vineyard features steep hillsides and rocky soils, which contribute to the wine's complexity and depth of flavor. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a blend of Bordeaux varietals, focused on Merlot with Cabernet Sauvignon adding more structure.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Tyler Happy Canyon Vineyard Claret has intense notes of plum and chocolate and a long finish.It shows a refined balance between a high level of fruit intensity and a rich, full palate with dense tannins. Cedar notes from maturation in small, new, french oak add complexity and interest. Good for people who want the style of Bordeaux with more generosity of fruit. Drink now or cellar for up to 10 years.

ORIGINS

Winery: Tyler

Region: Central Coast California

The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States. The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.
