Tyler "Perpetual Reserve" Sta. Rita Hills Brut Sparkling Wine
93
Vinous
This is the first bottling of Justin Willett's NV Perpetual Reserve. This inaugural edition is a blend of 2020, 2021 and 2022 that consists predominantly of Pinot Noir. It delivers precise, richly expressive orchard fruit, Meyer lemon, textured mineral tones and a notable kick of Pinot spice. This is an excellently balanced wine with great energy and vibrancy, with the midpalate heft to bring real presence to the table. I look forward to tasting this bottling in the future as the reserve evolves. This is a very fine debut. Bottled with 3 grams of dosage. Disgorged: June 2025.

Notes
Winery Notes "Mae Estate Vineyard is a traditional-method sparkling wine crafted exclusively from organically farmed, estate-grown fruit in the Sta. Rita Hills. This cuvée blends Pinot Noir (60%) and Chardonnay (40%) from multiple vintages as part of an ongoing perpetual reserve program, ensuring complexity and continuity of style. After secondary fermentation, the wine is aged on lees and finished with a low dosage of 3 g/L, resulting in a precise, elegant expression with a fine, persistent mousse. On the palate, it offers layered depth and vibrant freshness, showcasing the cool-climate character of Sta. Rita Hills with notes of citrus, red berry, and subtle brioche, all carried by bright acidity and a long, refined finish."
