Taut, focused and beautifully balanced. The 50% Syrah is lifted and fresh, while the other grapes blend seamlessly. Possibly the most underrated Rhone blend made in the US. #beckmen #santaynez

We tasted this during a tour in June. Our shipment finally arrived. We opened this as our reward for waiting for the case of more expensive selections. This is delightful. No pretense, a wee bit of grip on a he finish, Great nose of black cherry, raspberry, Clean and fresh: An amazing red to ease into Holiday Season!

Notes of berry, cedar, and fennel. Tastes of black cherry and ripe fruits, along with something like mint. Strong alcohol, slightly dry, with relaxed tannins. Very powerful wine. Alcohol burns the mouth a bit.
After an hour it opened up, but still too alcoholic and not juicy enough (like true Rhone wines).
