Syrah, Our Signature Grape

At Beck­men Vine­yards, Syrah is our most plant­ed vari­etal, and that should be no sur­prise. Our 125 acre cer­ti­fied bio­dy­nam­ic Purisi­ma Moun­tain Vine­yard has con­sis­tent­ly pro­duced a dis­tinc­tive crop of Syrah since it was plant­ed in the late 1990’s. The var­i­ous ele­va­tions, micro­cli­mates, and clon­al selec­tions found there pro­vide us with unique oppor­tu­ni­ties to pro­duce four spe­cial bot­tlings that accen­tu­ate the dif­fer­ent fla­vors of our sig­na­ture grape.

Differentiating our Grenache Wines

We’ve always been big fans of the Grenache grown in the San­ta Ynez Val­ley, and are proud that we were the first win­ery bot­tling a sin­gle vari­etal Grenache in San­ta Bar­bara Coun­ty in 1995. Our cur­rent Grenache port­fo­lio con­sists of four dif­fer­ent bot­tlings. Here’s an overview to help you appre­ci­ate how we look to high­light the dif­fer­ent fla­vors that Grenache pro­duces in our two vineyards.

Summer Shipping: Refrigerated or Next Day Air

It may be too hot for you to get unre­frig­er­at­ed wine ship­ments for sev­er­al months of the year. Even in tem­per­ate Los Olivos, our win­ery sees hot days for much of the sum­mer. The solu­tion is to offer those who want to stay stocked through the sum­mer the option of dis­count­ed refrig­er­at­ed ground ship­ping. In states that don’t offer tem­per­a­ture-con­trolled ground ship­ping, we have spe­cial UPS Next Day Air rates for the summer.
