About the wine
Santa Barbara's best-kept secret red
- This bold Syrah packs punches of dark fruit flavors – juicy, ripe plums and blueberries – backed by soft toasty oak and a plush finish that goes on and on.
- Rick’s your go-to Santa Barbara expert with 30+ years of coastal winemaking experience – he can bring under-the-radar Syrah into your home for great value.
- Take Rick’s advice and pair this big red with juicy smoked pork baby back ribs or sip it alongside a classic pizza shared with friends.
Best before
It is enjoyable early in its life but will reward the Angel that can hang onto a bottle or three for 3-4 years.
Serving advice
Open it when you are feeling good - having friends over for a BBQ, hanging by the fire on a cold evening and after a long day at work.
Food match
My go-to is smoked baby back pork ribs. How about penne pasta with short ribs in the crock pot? Or pizza with mushrooms, parmesan cheese and basil?
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."
