About the wine
Savory powerhouse Syrah, crafted by your star of Santa Barbara
- This big, bold Syrah packs a generous set of dark fruit flavors from juicy, ripe plum to blueberry, backed by a soft kick of toasty oak and a plush finish that lasts and lasts.
- Rick is your go-to Santa Barbara expert, with 30+ years of coastal winemaking experience that he channels into cool-climate stunners like this savory Syrah with the help of your funding.
- Take Rick’s advice and pair this bold red with juicy smoked pork baby back ribs slathered in a spicy-sweet marinade, or sip it alongside a decked out mushroom, parmesan cheese and olive pizza split with a few favorite friends!
Best before
This Syrah is enjoyable early in its life but will reward the Angels that can hang onto a bottle or two for 3-4 years.
Serving advice
Open this red when you are going to have friends over for a BBQ or want to hang by a warm fire in the evening. When you want some pleasure in your glass after a long day at work, pop the cork and fill your glass.
Food match
I love this Syrah with oak-smoked pork baby back ribs, smoked lamb chops, or with a homemade wild mushroom, parmesan cheese and olive pizza.
Contains sulphites
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."
