Rick Boyer Santa Barbara Syrah 2017
About the wine
Top-dollar Syrah with an impeccable track record
- The kind of dark and toasty red that belongs in a log cabin – full of cozy winter flavors like plums, cocoa and woodsy barrel-age.
- ...made by your Santa Barbara savant, Rick! "I was lucky to get top-quality coastal fruit from old vines – a very exclusive and limited crop," your winemaker says. That's what you get for funding the guy with 30+ years of coastal winemaking experience!
- Serve with juicy pork ribs, slathered in a spicy-sweet marinade. It might be the messiest meal ever... but worth it? 100%.
Best before
The wine will age for 7-8 years but is drinkable upon release. And I always say...
"Drink 'em while you have 'em"
Serving advice
Open the wine, pour it into your glass and drink it with friends.
Food match
Pork ribs. Cook over an oak fire with a jerk sauce marinade. Roasted wild duck with caramelized onions and mushrooms is not bad either.
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."
