Beckman Vineyards, Santa Inez Valley (California) 2010

Oct 3, 2012

By Michael Apstein

 The seamless blend of Syrah (44%), Grenache (34%), Mourvèdre (13%) and Counoise brings a lot to the table.  There’s plenty of up front, sweet red fruit notes, but also a hint of tar and even spice.  It’s a clean and pure expression of a Mediterranean blend.  Supple tannins make it easy to recommend for current consumption.
