JD93+ Premium Deovlet Star Lane Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

The 2018 Deovlet Cabernet Sauvignon Star Lane Vineyard offers an exceptional expression of Santa Barbara County’s renowned Happy Canyon appellation, crafted for wine enthusiasts seeking bold complexity and aging potential. Hailing from this celebrated vineyard known for its sun-drenched terraces and mineral-rich soils, this wine combines traditional terracotta clay fermentation with French oak barrel aging—40% new—to create a harmonious blend of rustic charm and refined elegance.

Jeb Dunnuck’s 93+ point rating underscores its quality: expect a medium-bodied pour brimming with layered red and blue fruit flavors—think black cherry, cassis, and plum—enhanced by subtle spicy oak nuances that linger gracefully on the palate. The firm yet balanced tannins signal its readiness to evolve over time; with 2–4 years of bottle aging, this wine will reveal even greater depth, offering drinkers 10–15 years of enjoyment when stored properly in a cool cellar environment.

Ideal for collectors or those hosting special occasions, this Cabernet Sauvignon stands out for its seamless integration of terroir-driven character and meticulous craftsmanship. Its lower alcohol content (13.2%) ensures approachability now while maintaining the structure to age gracefully. Pair it with rich dishes like herb-crusted rack of lamb or aged cheeses, or savor it as a testament to California’s premium wine heritage. A standout choice for connoisseurs appreciating both immediate pleasure and long-term investment value in Central Coast Cabernet blends.
