WINE DESCRIPTION

Poppy Reserve Pinot Noir showcases the unique terroir of Monterey County, where a mild spring and cooler summer allow the grapes to reach optimum maturity. This wine presents vibrant aromas of raspberries, complemented by notes of strawberries, fermented cherries, and a hint of macerated plum. On the palate, the bright red fruit is beautifully balanced with subtle spice and toasty oak nuances, creating a harmonious and engaging experience. Its refreshing acidity enhances the overall elegance, making it a delightful choice for any occasion.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

The production of Poppy Reserve Pinot Noir reflects a careful approach to winemaking that emphasizes quality and expression of the fruit.Grapes are meticulously hand-harvested from select vineyard sites to ensure optimal ripeness. Fermentation occurs in small batches, allowing for precise control over flavor extraction and fermentation dynamics. The wine is aged in a combination of French oak barrels, which contribute to its complexity while allowing the fruit character to shine. This thoughtful process results in a Pinot Noir that is both approachable and sophisticated, suitable for early enjoyment or a short to medium-term cellaring.

ORIGINS

Winery: Poppy

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.
