Why We Stock It

Beckham Estate's rosé captures the precision you expect from serious Pinot Noir producers, applied to a wine that's both elegant and genuinely refreshing. At this price, it sits well above the casual summer category without demanding a special occasion. It's the kind of bottle that works equally well at a picnic or alongside delicate seafood.

Tasting Profile

This is a dry, mineral-inflected rosé with real structure beneath its delicate fruit.

• Aroma: Strawberry, watermelon, citrus blossom, minerality
• Palate: Bright red fruit, subtle floral notes, crisp acidity
• Structure & Finish: Clean, dry finish with pleasant acidity and good length

Winemaking

The wine is made from Pinot Noir using brief skin contact to develop its color and complexity, then fermented cool to preserve the aromatic character and acidity that define it.

Serving & Pairing

Serve well chilled between 48 and 52 degrees Fahrenheit. No decanting needed. Try it with oysters and raw shellfish, where the minerality and acidity cut through beautifully, or with a simple tomato salad and fresh mozzarella for an easy lunch. The wine's crispness suits both raw preparations and light summer cooking without dominating delicate flavors.
