2016 Beckmen Vineyards Purisima Red Wine Purisima Mountain Vineyard

This is a velvety smooth red wine. However, I find it too opulent, almost overextracted, for my taste. It is definitively a wine crafted for an American palate. As a Frenchman, I tend to gravitate to wines that have more backbone and with a leaner focus.

2018 Beckmen Vineyards Barrel Select Cuvée

Just opened my first bottle. Suprisingly smooth for a relatively young 5 year bottling. Medium acidity and body. A CDP look alike that does not need 10 years in the cellar.

2017 Beckmen Vineyards Grenache Block Eight Purisima Mountain Vineyard

It still drinks great. Unfortunately, this may be my last bottle. I sure hope that the Grenache Libre will be a worthy successor since Block Eight was really outstanding.
