Rick Boyer Santa Barbara Pinot Noir 2016
About the wine
Old-vine Pinot Noir crafted by your master of Central Coast reds
- The very first vintage of Rick's old-vine Pinot Noir - harvested from the breezy oceanside hills of Santa Barbara County.
- Rick let nature do its best work and made your elegant Central Coast red with minimal intervention – after harvest, he gathered up all of his grapes into oak barrels, and let every delicate fruit flavor build to a crescendo of smoky dark cherries. Mmmm.
- This is a rich, complex Pinot for an incredible value – so silky, lush and round, it'll wrap you in warmth like a winter sweater. If you're hankering for perfect holiday wine, you've found it.
Best before
The wine will age for 7-10 years.
Serving advice
Open 1 week after receiving your shipment and enjoy.
Food match
Monterey Bay salmon grilled over oak chips and topped with a lemon ginger glaze.
Risotto with wild mushrooms makes for a nice evening. Roasted beets with Pecorino and fresh basil is not a bad combo with the wine either...

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Rick Boyer
- We’ve been looking for an experienced winemaker familiar with the
Central Coast and Monterey area in particular – we knew Rick fit the bill. He's farmed gorgeous, cool SoCal vineyards for over 25 years! - He had been making wine his whole life, but got out of the biz (to start a bonsai
business) because the risk and middlemen got in the way of his passion. He's back in, thanks to you! - What makes Rick's wines special? "I take a different perspective compared to a lot of other wines out there - like Euro style; feminine; delicate - like focused generous reds, focused complex whites; plenty of persistence, fruit, and flavor."
