"Amber and I would like to thank you for last year’s unbelievable inaugural launch of Becklyn Cellars. We are truly appreciative and blessed by your support. We hope you feel like this is as much your label as it is ours. Now for year two!
Mark your calendars for the “2015 Previous Buyers Release” beginning August 4th at 9am PST. Any remaining wine will be made available to the next mailing list group on August 18th. Purchasing wine will ensure an allocation next year.
Now for the big announcement we teased in March. We have been working with Steve Moulds and his iconic Moulds Family Vineyard to bring you a beautiful 2013 Becklyn Cellars Reserve Cabernet. This has been an exciting project, as fruit of this caliber is extremely difficult to acquire. This new addition to our portfolio continues to show our commitment to producing high quality cabernet.
Like last year, 100 cases of Becklyn Cabernet and 50 cases Becklyn Sauvignon Blanc have been bottled for this year’s release. For tasting notes for the 2013 Reserve Cabernet, 2013 Becklyn Cabernet and the 2014 Becklyn Sauvignon click here.
Many of you have asked with the recent auction results for Becklyn wines will the price go up this year. The answer is NO. The Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet, and Moulds Reserve Cabernet, will be priced at $30, $60, and $95 respectively. Allocations this year will be 3 bottles of each wine and wish lists will be filled beginning with folks that took their full allocation. As many of you are aware, once the wine is gone it is gone. Amber and I sell everything and keep only six bottles for ourselves.
Also, you spoke and we listened. To give back to our clients for playing such a huge role in our success last year, Amber and I have decided to subsidize a portion of shipping to bring down buyer costs in 2015. We will offer a flat rate $5 per bottle for previous buyers that take their full allocation. All other orders will receive a small reduction in shipping cost from last year.
As promised, Becklyn donated a portion of all proceeds to The Napa Valley Vintners Earthquake Relief Fund. Additionally, Becklyn is now a member of the Napa Valley Vintners charitable organization and has committed a portion of all future profits to the NVV Charities.
We want to congratulate our winemaker Mike Smith for his recent 100 point score for the 2012 Carter Cellars Beckstoffer-To Kalon GTO and 99 points for the 2012 Myriad Dr. Crane Elysian. Amber and I thank our lucky stars every day that we get to call him our winemaker and more importantly our friend. We also can’t go any further without thanking Mike’s better half, Leah Smith, for the invaluable guidance she has given us as we navigate the wine industry.
Lastly, the Becklyn Cellars Family has another new vintage to announce. Hudson Hugh Denny was born February 24, 2015 and has brought pure joy to his parent’s universe. He’ll be annoying Mike in the vineyard soon enough.
Always remember to enjoy a glass of Becklyn at the center of your universe!"
