title: Babcock 2001 Eleven Oaks Sauvignon Blanc (Santa Barbara County)
description: Tasted twice, with divergent results; the 86 rating reflects the average of both bottles. One bottle seemed overly heavy, with an odd mix of jalapeño peppers and honey. The better (and hopefully more representative) bottle showed richness without excessive weight, hints of cream and toast and penetrating citrus flavors, and would have rated 89 points on its own.
variety: Sauvignon Blanc
designation: Eleven Oaks
