2024 SYV Sauvignon Blanc

From a warm vin­tage, this wine bursts from the glass with aro­mas of lemon, pink grape­fruit, cit­rus blos­som, and trop­i­cal fruit. Bright, refresh­ing, and full of ener­gy, it offers a beau­ti­ful tex­ture and a long, live­ly fin­ish where the fruit fla­vors har­mo­nize seam­less­ly with the wine’s crisp acid­i­ty. A stand­out vin­tage that’s drink­ing beau­ti­ful­ly now and will con­tin­ue to shine for years to come.

2023 PMV Grenache Libre

Aro­mas and fla­vors of pome­gran­ate, kirsch liqueur, black rasp­ber­ry, black cher­ry, and white pep­per show­case youth­ful fresh­ness and impres­sive depth. Vibrant acid­i­ty and fine tan­nins sup­port the wine’s rich fruit, main­tain­ing impec­ca­ble bal­ance. Still young and tight­ly wound, this spe­cial vin­tage was craft­ed for the cel­lar and promis­es to evolve grace­ful­ly over the next 15 – 20 years.

2023 PMV Mourvèdre

Sourced from a new­er block on Purisi­ma Moun­tain Vine­yard and plant­ed with own-root­ed, head-trained Mourvè­dre from the his­toric Enz selec­tion, this is our first vari­etal Mourvè­dre bot­tling since 2002. Lay­ered and expres­sive, the wine shows notes of dark fruit, fig, earth, roast­ed herbs, and pep­pery spice. Medi­um-bod­ied with a sup­ple tex­ture, it offers fine tan­nins and ample acid­i­ty. While drink­ing beau­ti­ful­ly now, it has the struc­ture to age grace­ful­ly for a decade or more. Just four bar­rels produced!

2022 TLB

From a hot, dry vin­tage, the 2022 TLB is anoth­er stand­out release, marked by expres­sive fruit, gen­er­ous tex­ture, and a com­plex, ele­gant pro­file. A wor­thy fol­low-up to the excep­tion­al 2021 vin­tage, it show­cas­es clas­sic Caber­net Sauvi­gnon aro­mas and fla­vors, ener­gized by the depth and struc­ture of Syrah. With impres­sive con­cen­tra­tion, sup­ple tex­ture, and a seam­less, lin­ger­ing fin­ish, this wine exem­pli­fies the bal­ance and finesse that define great winemaking.

EXP Exclusive

2022 EXP 72% Mourvèdre / 28% Grenache

With dis­tinc­tive aro­mas of white pep­per, vio­let, olive tape­nade, Bing cher­ry, and red plum, this EXP release explores a fla­vor pro­file that’s unique­ly expres­sive and out­side the typ­i­cal Beck­men range — mak­ing it one of our most excit­ing bot­tlings to date. Broad and round­ed on the palate, the wine fea­tures plush tan­nins and juicy acid­i­ty, lead­ing to an ele­gant fin­ish where bright fruit and spice notes linger. A com­pelling deep dive into Mourvè­dre, this wine is drink­ing beau­ti­ful­ly now and offers a glimpse into the future of this vari­ety in our cellar.
