Babcock
Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir
Sta. Rita Hills, Central Coast, California, USA
Entry level Pinot - not bad at all, but not as impressive as their higher level offerings. The winery has a great tasting room next to Lompoc. One of the best in Sta. Rita Hills (in my opinion).

Dried apricots and spice. Sounds gross to me but somehow I really like it. Interesting.

Bursting with red fruit and spice including pomegranite and cherry with some thyme and pepper. Great acidity and a good palate with abundant fruit and nice integration of oak. Medium plus finish. This is a good mid priced SRH Pinot.

Feb 14th, 2018Really nice SRH Pinot. Not too rich with really bright red fruit aromas (cherry, cranberry, strawberry) with pepper and spice. I’m really impressed with the balanced acidity and tannins and the light/medium body. This has a really nice finish which persists longer than 30 seconds and shows cherry and some spice.

Dec 31st, 2017Med-med plus bodied for a Pinot. It's well rounded has big juicy fruit forward flavor. Jammy and stewed cherries and boysenberries . If you haven't tried this wine I highly recommend you do!

This is great! Mushroom. Earthy. Completely different, night and day, from the Santa Barbara county Babcock Pinot which I don't care for much.
