Rick Boyer Santa Barbara Bonsai Blend 2018
About the wine
A buzzy white blend from the best grapes in Santa Barbara
Full of light, citrusy fruit and packing a lush, juicy mouthfeel, this white wine is dripping with ripe peach and honeysuckle that sticks around for a refreshingly lazy finish.
Rick blended up Santa Barbara’s most sought-after Grenache Blanc, Roussanne and Viognier grapes for this wine – some from the county’s oldest vines, a few from famous vineyards and all just plain delicious.
Sip this white upon arrival or let it age for a few years. Either way, when the time comes, make sure a summery plate of clam linguini – splashed with fresh lemon and garden-fresh olive oil – is involved.
Best before
The wine is made to drink early in its life but will age nicely for 3-4 years.
Serving advice
Open it when you are planning to have a good time with good food and fun friends around - or when you need a tasty refreshing glass of wine to unwind!
Food match
Santa Barbara halibut with Miso. Pretty nice combination.
Pasta and clams with carrots, leeks and chorizo in the broth.
Contains sulphites
Always check the label

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."
