Ryan Deovlet passionately crafts wines from Santa Barbara County, with many of them from Santa Rita Hills. To quote Ryan, “At each vineyard site during each vintage, vines are carefully managed and yields are restricted in an effort to achieve the ultimate concentration of flavor. With respect to Mother Nature, harvest decisions are based intending to display the purest, most natural vineyard expression possible. Throughout the winemaking process, to produce a seamless balance between grape variety and site, the wines are carefully handcrafted with minimal intervention. Bringing together passion, artistry, and intuition, we are always leaning on the history of the this agelss craft and never forgetting ‘those who went before us and showed us the way.’”
"The 2013 Pinot Noir John Sebastiano Vineyard is one of the most aromatically expressive, flamboyant wines in this range. Then again, it's John Sebastiano. Rose petal, mint, crushed flowers and sweet raspberries take on silky shades of expression and nuance in this undeniably attractive, irresistible Pinot from Ryan Deovlet. (Drink between 2015-2021)" -Vinous, 93VM

"Vinified with 20% whole cluster and aged 16 months in 30% new French oak, the 2023 Pinot Noir Sanford & Benedict Vineyard offers wild strawberries, red currants, peppery herbs, and sappy, floral nuances. It's medium-bodied and has a pure, seamless mouthfeel, ultra-fine and polished, yet building tannins, and a great finish. This classy, balanced, beautifully perfumed effort will drink well over the coming 10-12 years. Drink 2025-2037. I continue to love the wines from Ryan Deovlet, who makes a classic, elegant, and transparent style of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. These wines are consistently pure and balanced and will appeal equally to fans of both New World and Old World styles. (Drink between 2025-2037)." -Jeb Dunnuck, 94JD
