Tyler Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay Mae Vineyard 2023 CS20230731 and complexity that come withTyler's home base Justin and Amanda Willett have farmed the 41 acre Mae Estate in the heart of Sta. Rita Hills since 2015, and this bottling comes from the sandier section of the vineyard. The wine is the cool climate, single vineyard counterpoint to Tyler's appellation Chardonnay: a tighter focus, a saltier edge, and the kind of lingering chalky bite that only a great SRH site delivers. Native ferments, restrained oak, all about transparency.
