Fresh cherries, black pepper, and a luscious licorice note

Much of this blend was grown in Mason, Texas at Tallent Vineyards. Sitting upon the proposed Hickory Sands AVA, Tallent Vineyards has been a long-time partner of Becker Vineyards, being one of the few vineyards in the state to grow Barbera.



Vintage:

The 2021 vintage in Texas was an increasingly difficult year for our farmers, yet the result produced exceptional wines. Starting at the beginning of our growing season with an unprecedented snowstorm, the remaining part of the year was filled with harsh and unexpected weather patterns. Yields across all regions of the state were troubled with hail, disease pressures, and drastic plumets in temperature, resulting in smaller than a smaller than normal crop. For the vineyards that were able to produce, the quality was outstanding. Lower than normal temperatures throughout the picking season allowed for grapes to hang longer on the vine, increasing concentration and phenolic development. We are beyond pleased with the wines being produced in the 2021 vintage.

Great vineyards - the best wines we tasted in Texas! I wouldn't think you could say these were from Texas in a blind tasting. Really good oaky whites and reds!

Becker’s is one of the top three wineries in Texas. Premium excellent Texas wines at a fair price. Events at the winery near Fredericksburg are not to be missed!

Love visiting Becker. This is TEXAS wine! Even if they hadn't been served multiple times at the White House or won multiple double gold medals at the San Francisco International wine competition, I would still enjoy the wine because it is fabulous!
