Winery - Babich
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This winery’s highly-oaked Chard, from a single vineyard, is bursting with buttered toast, smoke and lees, with apple, peach and tropical fruit, and an iron or flinty aroma. Full-bodied, rich and creamy, complex and lavishly textured. Young, needs time.

Lushly textured and filled with tropical fruit, this is a very good example of unoaked Chardonnay. Pineapple, melon and guava notes mix easily, finishing with just enough citrus to retain a sense of balance. Drink now.

A no-oak Chard, with green-apple, peach and grilled-almond notes, and a strong herbal or medicinal streak. Crisp and clean, has real character. Drink this well-priced wine now. Best Buy.

Lots of grapefruit, new-mown grass, and that telltale gooseberry or currant aroma. Quite fruity and tart, with a penetrating intensity and long finish. Low or no oak. Best Buy.

Babich's top Sauvignon is a big step up in quality, featuring more weight and intensity than its regular bottling. Tropical--think passion fruit--flavors are accented by grassy notes, with grapefruit notes forming the core. Drink now.

Tasted blind, this would confuse many Chardonnay drinkers used to the oaked-up, caramel-flavored concoctions typically associated with the variety. The fruit comes through vibrant and pure, with lots of tart apple and pear flavors buttressed by a healthy squirt of citrus. Long and clean on the finish, perfect with shrimp cocktail.

This light to medium-bodied offering displays crisp and tangy lime and green apple flavors. It’s a bit tart and austere overall, but features a lingering finish that would pair well with raw shellfish.

Aromas of peach and pineapple give way to tropical fruit flavors with just a trace of passion fruit. A bit fat and soft on the palate, then picks up a slightly bitter note on the finish. Imported by Select Fine Wine.
