title: Babcock 2013 Slice of Heaven Pinot Noir (Sta. Rita Hills)
description: Hailing from the vineyard that surrounds the historic Mt. Carmel monastery and vineyard, this weaves together aromas of buttered black cherries, Dr Pepper, black slate and the slightest tinge of dried herbs. From that hedonistic nose, the blackberry-laced palate tightens around pencil shavings, black-tea leaves, graphite, eucalyptus and sagebrush—an utterly balanced experience between savory and sweet.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Slice of Heaven
