Located in the Texas Hill Country between Fredericksburg and Stonewall, Becker Vineyards was established in 1992 by Richard and Bunny Becker. The vineyard was planted on a site of native Mustang grapes much prized for winemaking by German neighbors and their ancestors. Also planted on site is a three acre lavender field reminiscent of the wine country of Provence, France. The 46 acres of French Vinifera vines generate 8 different available varietals, including Syrah, Petite Syrah, Sauvignon Blanc, Malbec, Petite Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. The vines are planted in a mixture of deep sand and Precambrian granitic soils at 1,500 feet above sea level. The vines are watered with water welled from limestone formations 300 feet beneath the surface. A drip irrigation system is employed throughout the vineyard. Becker Vineyard’s first harvest was in 1995. Most vintages are aged in new French oak, others in new American oak, and stored in the largest underground wine cellar in Texas Read more

Becker Vineyards on Snooth

  • Becker Vineyards Moscato 2010

    Snoothrank: Starting at $9.95

    Very decent crisp semi-sweet wine for the price. Floral notes and a lasting finish.

  • Becker Vineyards Gewurztraminer 2011

    Snoothrank:

    Light bodied with delicate flavors. Semi-sweet with a quick, abrupt finish. Hints of rose and peach.

  • Becker Vineyards Canada Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

    Snoothrank:

    One of two reserve cab sauvignons from Becker, the other coming from Newsom Vineyard. More playful and fruit forward than their flagship cab Raven. Raspberry with other red berries dominate with a slight hint of young tannins. Needs some aging.

  • Becker Vineyards Raven 2009

    Snoothrank:

    Considered the flagship wine of the winery. Notes of chocolate and caramel linger in this medium to heavy bodied cab. Dry with bold tannins and substantial American Oak. Slight hint of coffee. Very good cab but hard to spend $40 on it.

  • Becker Vineyards Culinaria 2010

    Snoothrank:

    Subtle taste but a distinct black olive characteristic. Dry tannins but a quick finish. An attempt to mimic the classic French wines for St. Emilion that falls short.

  • Becker Vineyards Claret 2009

    Snoothrank:

    Extremely well blended and balanced. Dry with a mouth full of young tannins begging to be aged. Bordeaux style with hints of chocolate and strong oak.

  • Becker Vineyards Zinfandel

    Snoothrank:

    I have had the 2003 vintage of this Zin and was not as impressed this time around. A bit uneven liquorice taste dominates the palate. Bold yet simple. Might do well with some aging.

  • Becker Vineyards Reserve Tempranillo 2010

    Snoothrank:

    Of the 10+ wines I tasted during my trip to this winery this is the one I walked out the door with. Strong beginning with dark cherries and strawberry that evolves slowly into a palate with hints of mocha and a lingering finish. Very well constructed and balanced.

  • Becker Vineyards Prairie Rotie 2010

    Snoothrank:

    Clever and fun play on words. Hard to live up to a true Cote Rotie but does have subtle notes of white pepper. Hints of earth and soil but not quite to the terrior of the classic Rhone syrah.

    Wine review by tabednar


  • Becker Vineyards Reserve Roussanne 2010

    Snoothrank:

    Slight hints of jasmine and hazelnut on the nose. Citrus palate that is reminiscent of a Sauvignon Blanc. Mild and subtle taste with a quick finish.
