Rick Boyer Santa Ynez Valley White Blend 2015
About the wine
Crisp, bright and ready for fun in the sun
- Rick’s perhaps the most experienced winemaker on California’s Central Coast. He used intensely flavoured fruit from old vines to create an incredible fresh white blend that’s desperate to get out of the bottle.
- Like diving into a pool when it’s 85° in the sun, this one's as refreshing as they come. It’s dazzlingly bright and absolutely packed with tropical fruit flavors and ends with a citrusy finish.
- Rick says this white blend loves to be drunk with seafood and recommends grilling a fresh salmon over an open flame. Once it’s charred on the outside, give it a lemon glaze and get stuck in!
Best before
The wine is not styled to be laid down in the closet. This white is to be enjoyed with the sun and fun of the spring and summer.
Serving advice
Chill it. Open it. Enjoy it.
Food match
In Monterey Bay we have wonderful local Salmon right off the boat. Simply grilled over an oak fire with a citrus glaze is great.
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."
