Winemaker Notes

The 1998 Chardonnay is a true Santa Barbara County blend of fruit from each of the three valleys that make up the Santa Barbara County appellation. The wine is a blend of 28% Bien Nacido Vineyard in the Santa Maria Valley, 38% White Hawk Vineyard of the Los Alamos Valley and 34% estate frown Santa Ynez Valley. Beautiful, forward aromas of pears and tropical fruit are highlighted by a generous mouth feel, great balance, a long finish and nice oak complexity.

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.
