Babcock 2013 Naughty Little Hillsides Estate Pinot Gris (Sta. Rita Hills)

Country: US / Naughty Little Hillsides Estate
Variety: Pinot Gris California
Winery: Babcock / Sta. Rita Hills

The aromas on this wine by Bryan Babcock find an intriguing balance between ripe nectarine flesh and tart stonefruit skins. It’s a bit more lush in style than other Pinot Gris of the vintage, quite broad on the palate, with apple-pear flavors, lingering lemon skin bitterness and an acidity that soaks into the tongue.
