A bit unripe, with a slight vegetal intrusion into the blackberries and cherries. Teeter-totters just on the edge of ripeness, but falls short. Otherwise, the tannins are pretty, and the oak is deftly applied.

Babcock's Fathom seriously needs heat to ripen, and 2006 just didn't offer enough warmth. As a result, this Merlot and Petit Verdot blend has a stubbornly green, minty streak. It's very dry, with some good chocolate- covered cherry candy flavors, but that tartness detracts.
