Another post of my recent CA trip to see my daughter we visited Santa Barbara Winery Babcock. We tasted was Radical Pinot Noir from a small hillside in the heart of the Radian Vineyard, owned by grower Jonata Winery. Ruby red with purple tones and aromas of ripe fruits and complex spice. On the palate concentrated flavors of raspberry and cherry infused with dried aromatic herbs and fine tannins. The finish had a touch of smoky tones and lingered through the ending. Very Nice. Tasting Sample.
