Babcock 2010 The Mentor Chardonnay (Sta. Rita Hills)

Country: US / The Mentor
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Babcock / Sta. Rita Hills

An eccentric Chardonnay, with botrytis-like flavors of apricot jam and honey dominating, but there also are rich notes of buttered toast and tropical fruit. It’s dry and creamy and a little warm. Drink over the next 3 years.
