Beckmen Vineyards Cuvee Le Bec Santa Ynez Valley 2020 - Flask Fine Wine & Whisky

Highlights

50% Syrah, 38% Grenache, 7% Mourvèdre and 5% Counoise from the cooler 2021 vintage; drinks well now and will age 12–15+ years. Floral-tinged aromas of violet and wild flowers lead to bright red fruit, plum and blackberry on the palate, with licorice, cinnamon, mace, peppery herbs, dusty clay and fine ripe tannins; lively acidity keeps the flavors lifted through a clean, lengthy finish.

Beckmen Vineyards Cuvee Le Bec Santa Ynez Valley 2021

From the cooler 2021 vintage, this release is one of the greatest Cuvee le Bec’s we have ever produced. A blend of 50% Syrah, 38% Grenache, 7% Mourvedre, 5% Counoise. Vibrant, fresh, and outgoing, the wine is filled with aromas of floral tinged, bright red fruits, licorice, pepper, and spice. Lively and balanced in the mouth, the wine’s acidity keeps the flavors bright and lifted on the palate and through the finish where beautiful, ripe tannins carry the flavors on and on. This profound vintage drinks incredibly well now and will age gracefully for the next 12-15+ years.

Critical Acclaim

92 Wine Enthusiast

This wine always overde­liv­ers, and this vin­tage’s blend of 50% Syrah, 38% Grenache, 7% Mourvè­dre and 5% Counoise con­tin­ues the tra­di­tion. Aro­mas of baked berry, cin­na­mon, mace and wood on the nose land with live­ly ener­gy on the palate. The brisk plum and cin­na­mon fla­vors are under­cut by clay, dust and fine tan­nins. A very ver­sa­tile wine for the table.

91 Jeb Dunnuck

I always love this cuvée from Beck­men, and the 2021 Cuvee Le Bec shines for its juicy, up-front, deli­cious style. A blend of 50% Syrah, 38% Grenache, and the rest Mourvè­dre and Counoise, it offers lots of plump black­ber­ry fruit, some pep­pery herbs, vio­let nuances, medi­um body, and a juicy, clean, lengthy fin­ish. An out­stand­ing wine, it will stand toe to toe with the finest Côtes du Rhône out there.

91 Vinous

The 2021 Cuvée Le Bec is a very beau­ti­ful entry-lev­el offer­ing from Steve Beck­men. The cool­er style of the year comes through in the wine’s aro­mat­ic pres­ence and lighter per­son­al­i­ty vis-à-vis most years. Dark red cher­ry, plum, wild flow­ers, spice and dried herbs all run through this Syrah-based blend. Drink­ing Win­dow 2023 — 2029.

Yes, in most cases, the photograph on the product page is of the specific bottle for sale. If we have multiple quantities of the same item, the photo represents the general condition of all bottles under that SKU.

For wine, we recommend storing bottles on their side in a dark, vibration-free environment with good humidity, ideally between 55-60°F. Spirits like whiskey should be stored upright in a cool, dark place (60-70°F) away from direct sunlight to preserve their quality.
