It is amazing how good Beckmen's blends can be. Wish we had gotten more of this, to see what another year or two would do, but we have several of the 2018!

This bottle seemed a bit younger than a bottle 3 weeks ago. Probably just my palate after having an older wine earlier in the evening. Still, a very good value red.

An enormous, thick and rich red. Floods the mouth with black, blue and red fruit, cedar, spice, earth, blood, tobacco and plenty more. Bold tannins, extremely long finish. Give it two-plus hours or a couple years.

This is an excellent mid-weight CA Rhône blend. I’ve had several vintages and this might be the best I’ve had to date. There’s no need to wait on this bottle, as it’s ready to go right now on pop and pour.
One to buy by the case.

Consistent with the bottle I shared with friends a couple weeks ago. Great value and well crafted. Perfect pairing with cured meats, manchego cheese, and seasoned olives. Nice mouthfeel, tons of fruit, showing blueberry, raspberry, and a hint of spice. Good length and medium bodied.
