Winemaker Notes
Our Estate Sauvignon Blanc is made exclusively from biodynamic® certified grapes grown on our Purisima Mountain Vineyard. The majority of these vines are planted on a steep hillside, laden with large amounts of limestone, traversing to a less steep section that turns to sand. The 2009 growing season brought the warmest weather in three years, pushing up harvest dates. New vineyard techniques along with low crop yields, created the perfect environment to create an excellent wine, balanced by intense fruit flavors and crisp acidity.

Spectator
The goal of Beckmen Vineyards is to become the most prominent family owned vineyard estate in Santa Barbara County. Rhone style wines cultivated from Purisima Mountain Vineyard will be their contribution to the next chapter of winegrowing in the Santa Ynez Valley. To appreciate this goal is to be able to understand the history of the Santa Barbara Wine country and the pioneering spirit of Tom Beckmen and his family.
In 1996 Beckmen Estate Vineyards purchased Purisima Mountain Vineyard a 365-acre Estate overlooking the Santa Ynez Valley, where there are ideal soils and climate for Rhone varieties. They began planting in 1997 and have completed a total of 130 acres at this time. The high density plantings are designed to optimize different hillside exposures and elevations.
