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.

United States

Washington

Columbia Valley

Like many Washington wines, the “Columbia Valley” indication only tells part of the story: Columbia Valley covers a huge swath of Central
Washington, within which are a wide array of smaller AVAs (appellations).

Oregon

Willamette Valley

Oregon’s Willamette Valley has become an elite winegrowing zone in record time. Pioneering vintner David Lett, of The Eyrie Vineyard, planted the first Pinot Noir in the region in 1965, soon to be followed by a cadre of forward-thinking growers who (correctly) saw their wines as America’s answer to French
Burgundies. Today, the Willamette
Valley is indeed compared favorably to Burgundy, Pinot Noir’s spiritual home. And while Pinot Noir accounts for 64% of Oregon’s vineyard plantings, there are cool-climate whites that must not be missed.

California

Santa Barbara

Among the unique features of Santa Barbara County appellations like Ballard Canyon (a sub-zone of the Santa Ynez Valley AVA), is that it has a cool, Pacific-influenced climate juxtaposed with the intense luminosity of a southerly
latitude (the 34th parallel). Ballard Canyon has a more north-south orientation compared to most Santa Barbara AVAs, with soils of sandy
clay/loam and limestone.

California

Paso Robles

Situated at an elevation of 1,600 feet, it is rooted in soils of sandy loam and falls within the Highlands District of the Paso Robles AVA.

New York

North Fork

Wine growers and producers on Long Island’s North Fork have traditionally compared their terroir to that of Bordeaux and have focused on French varieties such as Cabernet Franc and Merlot.
