Rick Boyer Central Coast Unoaked Chardonnay 2020
About the wine
Crisp, citrusy, easy-sipping Chardonnay from the rolling hills of Monterey
- This bright, fresh white wine is a cool-climate classic from your regional expert of California's sun-kissed Central Coast, dripping with juicy green apple and citrusy flavors, plus a refreshing, crisp finish that lasts and lasts.
- Thanks to your funding, Rick could access rolling hillside vineyards in Southern Monterey, taking his pick of the high-quality Chardonnay growing there. Then he aged the wine on lees and skipped the oak to let the crisp, delicate fruit flavors shine through the best they can.
- Only a winemaker with 30+ years of experience could bring you a white wine this luxurious – and Rick’s thankful that you let him! Pour a frosty glass of this refreshing Chardonnay with fresh-grilled lemon cod, kick your feet up… and call it a day!
Best before
This Chardonnay is made to be enjoyed as soon as it reaches your door. It will also age very well for 3-4 years. It is an open and fruit-driven style of wine that will go great with a variety of foods.
Serving advice
Open it when you are having friends or family over. Or when you just want to chill and have a really tasty glass of wine. It is made to please.
Food match
My favorite pairings with this white are grilled shrimp with garlic, fresh-caught Black Bass steamed with this Chardonnay, lemon, fresh thyme and leeks, or home-made pizza with red garlic sauce, goat cheese, mushrooms and kalmata olives.

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."
