About the wine
The smoothest Syrah in California
- Rick’s found the perfect 30-year-old vines for his debut Monterey Syrah. This is a big, rich mouthful of wine from one of the best winemakers in the Central Coast.
- Great for BBQ fare, this red is full of cherries and berries. There's a delicious smoke element to it that reminds us of the juicy char on a burger.
- Rick says this bold wine loves to be drunk with grilled lamb chops, marinated in olive oil and garlic. If you have rosemary handy, throw it into the coals for some seriously great flavor.
Best before
The wine is made to be consumed and enjoyed early in its life.
Serving advice

Food match
We have a local lamb supplier. Thick chops on the grill with olive oil, garlic and rosemary.
If you have a rosemary bush handy throw a few sprigs into the coals to create some great flavor.

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."
