title: Beckmen 2009 Purisima Mountain Vineyard Grenache (Santa Ynez Valley)
description: Beckmen is one of Santa Barbara's premier Rhône-style producers, and one of the few wineries that understands how to get Grenache right. This one, which has been blended with a little Syrah is just wonderful. It's not only delicious in fruits and spices, but it's balanced, with superb acidity and a bracing coating of tannin.
variety: Grenache
designation: Purisima Mountain Vineyard
