2021 Becker Vineyards Tempranillo

Texas Hill Country more

5/11/2024 - patrizimo wrote: 81 points

Taste of red fruit, with notes of tobacco or leather (tasting something in here that isn't fruity). Not too tanic and didn't need to breathe for too long before it was good to drink.

2019 Becker Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Wilmeth Vineyard

You gotta love Texas grapes! I'm impressed with the quality, check this out >> https://txwinelover.com/2023/06/ty-wilmeth-grower-profile/

Sourced from Ty Wilmeth Vineyard and quality juice. Most folks believe Napa is the premier location. I believe Texas is the 2nd fastest growing area for red grapes; Cabernet, Mourvèdre, Tannat and more. Elevation over 3100 feet above sea level.

I digress, nose of berries with a delightful taste of bright fruits, almost strawberry. Good acidity and balance. Enjoy the finish, low ABV @ 13.5%.

More buttery than a New Zealand Sauv Blanc. Lots of white fruit notes but not as much citrus.

2022 Becker Vineyards Viognier

Texas more

4/7/2024 - @vinreverie Likes this wine: 90 points

A beautifully layered and aromatic white wine. The 2022 Viogner is comprised of Texas High Plains fruit followed by aging for 18 months in French oak barrels and stainless steel. This yielded wine balance on the pallet with stone fruits, citrus, and baking spices.

2012 Becker Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Newsom Vineyards

Texas High Plains more

3/31/2024 - cos65 Likes this wine: NR

Clear garnet
Totally tertiary with the slightest hint of prune.
Mostly iron, a touch of iodine with still some drying tannins. For those who like older wines

I’d suggest a decant and drink up.

Much better with two hour decant, this may hold up much better than the initial look suggested

2021 Becker Vineyards Claret les trois dames

Texas Hill Country Red Bordeaux Blend more

3/21/2024 - Bijourheya Likes this wine: 100 points

Great deal of chocolate, berries, and a little bit of spice and pepper, faintest leather at the end. For me it is the perfect cusp between sweet and dry, right on the edge. Very drinkable but still retains a nice bit of complexity without being overly bold. My go to reds are a more sweet syrah, and I would definitely purchase this to enjoy again.

Texas Hill Country Red Blend more

2/17/2024 - SawgrassSteve Likes this wine: 92 points

Excellent paired with grilled pork tenderloins (with Ginger, Cinnamon Shallot Butter, Zested Honey Mustard) and quail stuffed with shredded pork, wrapped in bacon. We enjoyed a glass each, brought home and it improved dramatically by the following day. Medium tannins, nice acidity, vanilla, toasted marshmallows and dark fruit. This is a blend of Malbec(50%), Mourvèdre and Petit Verdot. They sprinkled in some cab franc and tannat for fun? A great Texas grape sourced wine!

Of the Becker wines I've enjoyed, this has been one of my favorites. Excellent blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Petit Verdot. Hint of raspberry on the nose. The currant and winter spice hit mid palate with an exceptional finish. I will be getting more for the cellar on my next trip to Texas Hill Country!

Perhaps the last bottle was off? This tasting is showing a much improved nose and complexity. This bottle was shipped from winery so its potentially a different barrel is all I can imagine? I'm not a big "When Wine" guy, but this a fruit day. Maybe that is having some affect on the results, too. Much more fruit forward, distinctive cherry notes and some hints of floral.

This is a delicious Texas Cabernet. Nice acidity, cherries and pepper accompanied by soft tannins. Delivers a decent finish. I continue to be impressed with Texas wines. Most of these cabernet grapes come from the high plains of west Texas. If you haven't tried a Texas red, don't let it scare you away.

I love supporting Texas wines. Nice earthiness and blackberry, what I expect from a Tempranillo. Paired with a smoked Waygu shoulder roast with pepper, salt and garlic. It's young and may benefit from a few years.

10/23/2023 - SawgrassSteve Likes this wine: 88 points

Delicious Texas blend. Aged 36 months in oak. I'm impressed with the quality of Texas wines and this is an interesting blend, referred as a "super Tuscan" 🤔. I'm enjoying the acidity, sipping on the PNP. Nice nose of floral and tart cherries. I find the finish a bit short and lacking complexity, though I did expect more fruit forward from cab franc and cabernet sauvignon. I cannot taste any impact of Petite Verdot, perhaps that's where the floral notes are from?

Maybe this will open up? If it does, I'll come back and add more.

10/21/2023 - SawgrassSteve Likes this wine: 90 points

I taste the Malbec notes in this blend. The nose gives off an earthy, dark berry essence typical of Malbec. I am.drinking this on the PNP, thinking this will level out some in an hour. I am tasting plums, raspberry and a spice I can't quite make out. Nice acidity and a lovely finish.

We visited the winery and bought 4 different bottles and vintages. Joined their wine club after enjoying the Becker 2017 Cab Reserve from Canada Family Vineyards(Plains, TX) while dining locally. I'm beginning to appreciate Texas wines more and more. They have their own profile, different from Cali wines and its nice for a change.

Deep ruby colour. Medium (+) and developing nose with cooked dark plum, blackberry, oak, vanilla, black pepper and licorice. Medium taste of cooked dark plum, very ripe blackberry, oak, vanilla, black pepper and licorice. Medium long and dry finish. Medium acidity. Full body. A good Zinfandel that lacks some balance and feels a bit cooked. Drink now. Goes well with beef.
