Library Syrah Vertical
Block Six was the first section of Purisima Mountain Vineyard to be farmed biodynamically starting in 2002 and is the highest elevation block in the vineyard featuring significant deposits of chalky limestone. These factors contribute to a wine that has consistently been our finest Syrah bottling.
2019 PMV Block Six Syrah: Classic Block Six Syrah aromas of game, pepper, blackberry, chocolate, and mineral highlight the 2019 vintage. Another stellar year for this wine, the palate is packed with more spice, dark fruits, chocolate, and plum with amazing texture, fine tannins, and balanced acidity. Delicious as usual, the 2019 should age beautifully for the next 25-30 years. Crafted from 100% certified biodynamic grapes.
2020 PMV Block Six Syrah: The 2020 season will be remembered for its intense heat spikes in the Santa Ynez Valley. Thankfully, unlike most parts of California, we had no fire and smoke issues with our grapes and wines. Other than the intense heat the season was a good one and has produced wines of outstanding quality with lower than average yields. The heat that came in August and September shut down some vines and caused damage to some fruit, so sorting in the vineyard and winery was essential to a successful vintage. Our biodynamic farming also helped to offset some of the negative effects of the heat which helped to make 2020 another stellar vintage for Beckmen Vineyards.
2021 PMV Block Six Syrah: The milder conditions in the 2021 vintage produced a great Block Six wine that reminds us of the epic 2015 release. Waves of dark fruits, minerals, pepper, chocolate, and vanilla weave their way through the aromas and flavors of the wine. Definitely a vintage with higher acidity and bigger tannins structure, the 2021 Block Six retains a round and seamless texture where the rich flavors are supported and lifted by the great structure. A wine that should age very well, we expect the 2021 Block Six to age for the next 25 years.
