As a lover of Rolland keyboards which the Beckmen family began, I have a natural affinity towards these wines from Santa Ynez. They have always offered incredible value since their inception back in the mid 90s. Today however, we have something on a whole new level. The QPR for this freshly released cab is off the charts! It's your new go-to, under $30 wine. Antonio Galloni waxed poetically on this gem of wine calling it, "rich and explosive..." and "...endowed with tremendous depth and complexity." Yes, we are still talking about this $30 wine. "Case me!"

About The Producer
After years as leaders and pioneers in the electronic music business, Tom and Judy Beckmen, joined by their youngest son Steve and more recently by their oldest son Jeff, set out to make wines as well-crafted and distinctive as the keyboards and synthesizers that built their successful careers as founders of Roland Corp, US. The Beckmens have established themselves as a leading grower and producer in Santa Barbara County, crafting wines of critical acclaim that have been served in the finest restaurants and houses in the country (including the White House) since their inception in 1994. Beckmen wines are crafted almost exclusively from their two vineyards, the Thomas and Judith Beckmen Estate Vineyard in Los Olivos District AVA and Purisima Mountain Vineyard in Ballard Canyon AVA. With over 150 planted acres combined, the Beckmens look to continue their tradition of crafting world-class Santa Barbara wines and offering exceptional wine experiences at their beautiful winery in the Santa Ynez Valley.

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon (Santa Ynez Valley) is rich and explosive out of the glass. Inky dark fruit, grilled herbs, leather, licorice and a host of earthy notes flesh out in an expansive wine endowed with tremendous depth and complexity. This is such a gorgeous Cabernet Sauvignon.
