Babcock Vineyards Pinot Grigio

With this bottling, Babcock Winery pushed the frontier of ripeness. It is not the obviously "crisp" wine that the 1999 or 2000 vintages were. The texture is fatter, and as it transcends its initial shock from bottling, dazzling layers of fruit will be more apparent in the aroma. Right now there are quivers of peach, apple, and kiwi laced together with herbal elements that strike as an exotic cross between anise and juniper berries. The oak is slightly more stated this year as well, giving more of a foundation to the fruit, and playing a bit more into Pinot Grigio's natural inclination to come across as creamy.
