THE SOIL & CROP

 

An impressive pattern snakes through Becklin Vineyards showing its unique mix of Jory and volcanic Nekia soil. The crop offers numerous possibilities for winemakers as they aspire to make the next best red or stunning rose’ that drinks well for years.

“Something that still catches my breath at Becklin Vineyard, is the incredibly close view of Mt Hood, Mt. Adams, and Mt Saint Helens. You feel like you could reach out and touch them. Combine that with the natural moderate yields of the vineyard and the close proximity to the Gorge, and you have a real winner!”
