Babcock Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir 2013
Babcock Vineyards was established in 1978, when Mona and Walter Babcock purchased a 110-acre property on Highway 246, between Lompoc and Buellton, in the western Santa Ynez Valley. Still family-owned and operated, Babcock Winery and Vineyards is a focused 10,000-case winery with 65-acres currently planted to Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Pinot Gris. The beautiful ruby red color and complex fruit in this 2013 Pinot Noir, shows why Santa Barbara County is such a perfect domain for classic Pinot Noir. The nose shows dark cherries with an array of spices. The mouth is weighty with long flavors that follow suit. It’s perfect for pairing with a wide variety of foods.
