Business Description
|
Founded in 1994 by Judy and Tom Beckmen, Beckmen Vineyards is a family-run, estate-grown winery in the Santa Ynez Valley. Since its inception, Beckmen Vineyards has evolved through a harmonious marriage of insight and inspiration to become one of North America's premier producers of estate Rhone varietals.
Convinced of the tremendous potential of the Santa Ynez Valley, Tom Beckmen undertook an extensive and painstaking search for the ideal location to establish Beckmen Vineyards. He finally found what he was looking for on a small and neglected 40-acre parcel with an existing small winery. Together, Tom and his winemaker son Steve began polishing this jewel in the rough. They removed the 16 original acres of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Cabernet Sauvignon (planted in 1982) that had not realized their full potential due to neglect and incorrect varietal selection. The vineyard was replanted to the correct varietal selection on the correct rootstock, implementing modern viticulture practices in the vineyard. Today, the Beckmen wines portray the commitment that has been made in the vineyard.
