Rick Boyer Zaca Mesa Vineyard Santa Ynez Valley Syrah 2019
About the wine
Stunning single-vineyard Syrah packed full of Santa Barbara soul
- When you’re craving a robust red that’s positively dripping with juicy dark fruit flavors and a warm, soul-warming kick of spice – Rick’s sultry Syrah is just the ticket.
- In Rick’s 30 years of winemaking, this is easily one of the most decadent and elegant single-vineyard Syrahs he’s ever made - with premium fruit from the oldest appellation of Santa Barbara wine country.
- Rick’s built a name for himself making top-rated Syrahs – but this dream wine was his favorite to make so far! This is one wine you want to have this holiday – but so do most Angels. Make sure you take home your share while it lasts!
Best before
This Syrah is delicious now, but will also age well for the next 10 years.
Serving advice
Rick suggests opening this decadent Syrah "whenever you're feeling good and want a world-class wine in your glass."
Food match
Oak and rosemary smoked lamb chops or a thick grilled rib eye steak are Rick's preferred pairings for a Syrah this powerfully smooth.
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."
