Described by Josh Raynolds of Vinous as “one of the Central Coast’s most under-the-radar, top-notch winemakers,” McPrice “Mac” Myers crafts the “Hard Working Wines” portfolio for everyday enjoyment, these top scoring selections sourced from the even and consistent 2021 vintage described as producing wines of “power and balance” by Decanter’s Brianne Cohen and among the region’s top values.

Releasing his first vintage nearly two decades ago, winemaker Mac Myers showcases the multiple terroirs and climates of the Central Coast from Santa Barbara to Paso Robles, establishing his Hard Working Wines series to craft “premium wines that don’t break the bank” and delivering “some of the best red wine values in the Central Coast” according to Vinous. Planted in the region’s limestone rich soils, Mac sources fruit from 25 acres of estate vineyards along with some of the most renowned vineyards on the Central Coast, the grapes enjoying sunny, warm days cooled by the maritime influence of the Pacific that allow for extended development on the vine while preserving fresh acidity.Aged for 10 months in stainless steel tanks and 20% new French oak, the full-bodied 94 pt. 2021 Bull by the Horns Cabernet Sauvignon boasts juicy vibrant fruit with bright acidity and soft, supple tannins structured to drink well over the next few years. Described as “a flavorful and balanced style of Zinfandel” by the Wine Enthusiast’s Matt Kettmann, the robust 94 pt. 2021 McPrice Myers Pound For Pound Zinfandel was aged in a mix of neutral French and American oak barrels, puncheons, and concrete tanks for 10 months, yielding juicy brambly fruit and well balanced acidity, delivering “the best bang for your buck” in Paso according to Mac. Aged in a mix of neutral French barrels for 10 months, the rich 94 pt. 2021 McPrice Myers Right Hand Man Syrah offers juicy, savory fruit hinting of peppery spice that’s “easy to drink” according to the Wine Advocate’s Erin Larkin, revealing notable complexity on a bright, smooth finish.

Summed up as offering “ridiculously good drinking for not much money,” Jeb Dunnuck describes the top rated McPrice Myers reds as “character-filled, high-quality, yet value-priced wines,” all drinking deliciously upon release and bargain priced for fans of bold Central Coast reds seeking a great deal to enjoy often.

Deep ruby, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Bull By The Horns has pleasingly herbal touches of bay leaves and dried herbs over a core of blackcurrant, game meat, tar and pencil shavings. The full-bodied palate has abundant, grainy tannins, uplifting, juicy acidity and a long finish with iron and herbal tones. This overdelivers for the price!
