WINE DESCRIPTION

Babcock Fathom is a glossy, oaked red wine made from Bordeaux varieties, whose exact composition varies from vintage to vintage. The grapes are typically sourced from Santa Barbara County in California's Central Coast. The grapes are selected and sorted before undergoing a lengthy fermentation on skins to create a richly textured red wine with a pronounced black fruit profile. With its bold and concentrated nature, Babcock Fathom can be enjoyed with a range of intensely flavored meat dishes or hearty stews.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Babcock Fathom has an opaque, inky deep concentration staining the glass with heavy purple tearing, suggesting a wine of significant weight and extraction.On the nose, Babcock Fathom presents luscious dark fruits, such as blackberries, blackcurrants and plums, accompanied by hints of cinnamon and violets. Upon the first sip, the wine is full and mouth-coating, revealing a rich and velvety texture, with well-integrated tannins that provide a plush mouthfeel. The flavors of ripe blackberries and plums dominate the finish, complemented by notes of dark chocolate and a touch of vanilla.

ORIGINS

Winery: Babcock

Region: Central Coast California

The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States. The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.
