Description
Deovlet, Pinot Noir
Over the past 14 vintages, Ryan Deovlet become a certified winemaking rockstar on the Santa Barbara County wine scene. Just ask Vinous’ Antonio Galloni: “Ryan Deovlet is one of the most exciting young winemakers…his wines, which emerge from some of the top sites in Santa Barbara, are impeccable, pure, and wonderfully transparent to site.”
The 2019 Santa Barbara County is a beautiful offering that blends fruit from Zotovich Family, La Encantada, and Sanford Benedict vineyards. You’re getting the best of his vineyard designate program in one bottle! Although high-toned aromatics immediately flood out of the bottle upon pulling the cork, we urge you to treat this just like you would a young, top-shelf Premier Cru Burgundy: decant for 30 minutes, serve in ballooned stems, and savor over many hours. It has Chambolle-like structure and explosive aromas of high-toned goji berry, ripe strawberry, black cherry, damp clay, rose petal, and blood orange peel alongside exotic spices that crescendo into a thunderous finale. This generous Pinot delivers a soft yet serious palate with a long finish that can only be described as a mélange of fruit and spice. You’re going to love it.
