2022 Deovlet Pinot Noir, Zotovich Vineyard
"Juicy black raspberries, peppery herbs, and sappy, floral notes all shine in the 2022 Pinot Noir Zotovich Family Vineyard, a beautifully layered Pinot Noir that was mostly destemmed and brought up in 30% new French oak. It's balanced, medium-bodied, has good acidity and ripe tannins, and outstanding length, with plenty of those classic Sta. Rita Hills marine-like nuances as well as structure. Drink this incredibly charming, satisfying Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir over the coming 7-8 years or so." -Jeb Dunnuck, 94JD
"Another brilliant lineup from winemaker Ryan Deovlet, these wines unquestionably rank with the best from the region. Pulling fruit from the Sta. Rita Hills, Deovlet mostly destems his wines, and his oak regime includes just 15%-20% new. These are incredibly complete, balanced, singular wines that readers should snatch up." - Jeb Dunnuck, Aug 2022
