Well crafted wine, and as taste goes, I agree with other reviews in regards to taste. What struck me more was, this wine is ready to drink. Don't wait any longer. This wine is peaking in taste, body and texture. Brian Babcock makes in my opinion, way too many other Pinot Noirs, but this is a good short term Pinot.

Central Coast Trip; 3/30/2014-4/1/2014: Tasted at Winery. Quite different in style than the Precocious and Slice of Heaven -- far more tannic. Unfortunately I'm not sure this has enough fruit for the tannins to resolve before the fruit fades away. More spice on the nose, earth/mineral, with a very long finish. Not sure how long to age this one - drink it now if you like them tannic!

Full bodied Pinot from Babcock with fruit forward character, not nuanced but enjoyable with seafood dinner or cheese course.
