Although I am not an admirer of most California Sangioveses, Babcock's 1997 Sangiovese Eleven Oaks is a noteworthy effort. It exhibits textbook smoky, ripe cherry jam, saddle leather, and strawberry aromas. Ripe, rich, suave, and medium-bodied, with no hard edges, it should drink well for 2-3 years. Yummy! Tel.
