1999 Babcock Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc, Santa Barbara Country.

Babcock Vineyards is known for its opulent “11 Oaks” Sauvignon Blanc from Santa Ynez Valley. The Lompoc estate also produces a well-made Sauvignon Blanc with no vineyard designation that is more suited for everyday drinking. With its crisp acidity and clean, bright fruit and drier style, it’s a perfect summer wine. Serve it well-chilled with grilled salmon or shrimp.
