Becker Vineyards
Iconoclast Texas Cabernet Sauvignon
Texas, USA
This Texas Cabernet from Becker Vineyards exemplifies how Texas wines are maturing nicely. It is a simple wine true to the Cabernet grapes. Nice aroma, fruity with dark berries notes. It is pleasant and inviting. I am enjoying it with grilled thick pork chops. Nice pairing.

Visiting Fredericksburg TX for a few days. This is TX hill country and has a big winery community. Never tried any TX wines before but found a few surprises here. We tasted at Becker earlier today but not this wine. $30 on the restaurant wine list. Becker wasn’t our favorite stop but it is the only local winery represented on their list. Overall local wines seemed overpriced compared to CA wines. Just realized we had an older vintage (2018) on our last trip from Houston to Anaheim. It’s interesting that most of the grapes used in the local wines come from Lubbock (panhandle) area. Don’t know where these grapes came from, or what varietals are present.
