About the wine
This spiced, barrel-aged red begs for a crackling wood fire...
- Smooth, sumptuous and rich old-vine Pinot Noir, harvested from the breezy oceanside hills of Santa Barbara County.
- Rick let nature do its best work and made your elegant Central Coast red with minimal intervention – after harvest, he gathered up all of his grapes into oak barrels, and let every delicate fruit flavor build to a crescendo of smoky dark cherries. Mmmm.
- This is a rich, complex Pinot (and a gold medal winner!) – so silky, lush and round, it'll wrap you in warmth like a winter sweater. If you're hankering for perfect holiday wine, you've found it.
Best before
The wine will age well for 6-8 years. It is soft in the mouth with lots of upfront fruit and built to be consumed early in its life, so open and enjoy now.
Serving advice
Open it. Pour it into a nice glass. Share with family and friends. Can benefit from some decanting/aeration but not needed.
Food match
Fresh caught Monterey Bay salmon on the grill. BBQ turkey thighs with a rosemary wood fire.
Wild mushrooms with fresh tarragon. Homemade pizza with smoked salmon, goat cheese, leeks, Kalamata olives and olive oil.

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."
