Babcock 2017 Love Among the Ruins Grenache (Sta. Rita Hills)
Rounded aromas of baked red cherry and raspberry, hibiscus, crushed rocks and smoky wood are pleasantly ripe on the nose of this bottling. The palate grabs hold with texture right away, leading through flavors of cranberry, raspberry, toasted sage and light hickory. Matt Kettmann
