Rick Boyer Santa Barbara Pinot Noir 2021
About the wine
Silky-smooth red from coastal hillside vineyards
- This vibrant Pinot Noir is a juicy sipper, with ripe cherry, raspberry and strawberry flavors complemented by a backbone of toasty oak spice.
- With the help of your funding, Rick harvested this primo Pinot from his choice of breezy oceanside vineyards throughout the sunny hills above Santa Barbara and aged the wine in premium oak barrels for an extra lavish touch.
- This is a complex, acclaimed Pinot (it’s won all kinds of medals for past vintages!) – so silky and smooth, it'll wrap you up like a warm sweater. If you're hankering for the perfect Pinot, you've found it!
Best before
It is enjoyable now, but will evolve beautifully for up to 4 years if you're patient.

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."
