"This Was" is a Sierra Foothills red blend from Hank Beckmeyer's exciting Ecstatic Truth project. It is a new way of looking at wine.

"The wines I am making under the Ecstatic Truth label aim to be transparently 'wine'. Because I will not include grape names or vineyard locations, the wine drinker has to fall back on the one thing left to him or her - personal opinion. How does it taste? and, do I like it?" - Hank Beckmeyer
