Poppy Monterey County - Pinot Noir

Founded in 2003, the Poppy production is focused on bringing the beauty of Southern California to consumers across the globe. This particular Pinot Noir is sourced from Arroyo Seco, an ancient river bed in Monterey, where the vineyards are sheltered from the afternoon winds by the Santa Lucia mountain range. This allows for these particular vineyards to be warmer, allowing grapes to ripen further to create wines that a fuller, with more flavour intensity and more fruit. This wine sees some french oak that creates notes of oak spices on the palate, which are accompanied by ripe red berries, minerality and a touch of smoke.
