Babcock
Slice of Heaven Pinot Noir
Sta. Rita Hills, Central Coast, California, USA
The 2016 Pinot Noir Slice of Heaven is the most explosive and flamboyant of the wines in Babcock's range. Super-ripe plum and blueberry fruit make a strong opening statement. Lavender, mint and spices show up on the mid-palate. Vivid, dense and exotically rich, the 2016 is a total stunner. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2018)

Can't beat the soft, delicate purity of Rita's Crown Vineyard. All with such a deeper power of red fruit depth.

I dont get it. Over extracted over ripe doesnt resemble Pinot noir at all.

2013; translucent Crimson color, medium full body. Clean red cherry aromas with dusty mineral mouthfeel. Moderate finish. Give 2-3 years.
