Babcock 2012 Appellation’s Edge Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)

Country: US / Appellation’s Edge
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Babcock / Sta. Rita Hills

Bryan Babcock’s three decades of experience show better than ever right now. This bottling from Radian Vineyard offers aromas of charred cloves, wet slate, peppercorns and macerated raspberries. Lively and energetic on the palate, it bursts with flavors of wild berries and ripe cranberries, with a tart citrusy twist that’s a wakeup call to the mouth.
