The Beckmen 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon (Santa Ynez Valley) is full of the savory, rich flavors that make wines from Los Olivos so distinctive. Bay leaf, mint and licorice are some of the notes that emerge. Ultimately, the American oak Steve Beckmen uses for this wine has a dominating, overwhelming influence. My impression is that this could be a materially better wine.

Dark, rich, and dense, the Beckmen 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon is loaded with vanilla, spice, cherry, cassis, and black currant flavors and aromas. As is typical with this wine, the mouthfeel is like velvet and the underlying acidity keeps the wine fresh and vibrant. An utterly drinkable vintage of the SYV Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2017 should drink well for a decade or more.

This blend of 47% Syrah, 35% Grenache, 11% Mourvèdre and 7% Counoise is one of the best red wines for the price anywhere in California, offering impressive weight and complexity in the $20 range. Aromas of lilac and blackberry drop into a palate full of boysenberry, leather and beef, with a rose-petal freshness.

Aromas and flavors of vanilla, cassis, toasted herbs, cherry and cedar create a seductive wine. Full-bodied and round, the ample ripeness of the wine is balanced by great acidity, making the wine approachable.

Good Value, Showing a very good sense of fruity substance in its ripe, slightly plumy, well-filled aromas along with a nice measure of loamy complexity that marks it indelibly as Cabernet Sauvignon, this well-made offering is even richer and more generously fruited than promised once in the mouth with lengthy, very continuous flavors that refuse to let up.
