Rick Boyer Santa Ynez Valley White Blend 2016
About the wine
A rich and creamy white that'll soothe your summer
- Rick’s perhaps the most experienced winemaker on California’s Central Coast. He used intensely flavored fruit from old vines to create an incredibly layered white blend that’s desperate to get out of the bottle.
- This white is absolutely packed with zesty tropical fruits – and a smooth, creamy finish sure to wash all your cares away.
- 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 rich lemon glaze.
Best before
The wine can age for 3-4 years very easily.

Pull the cork, pour it in your glass and enjoy with pleasure.

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."
