This wine displays blueberry, black cherry, and currant flavors with nuances of licorice, violets, and cigar box all wrapped together with a dash of vanilla and mocha. Medium to full-bodied, well-balanced, with soft tannins, this wine shows tremendous dimension, with a seamless finish that lingers throughout the palate. Pair with dishes more on the savory side, lamb, and roasted meats. This wine is designed to drink well within four years of its vintage date however it will be at its best starting around 2023.
Poppy Description
Part of the grapes was going through the thermovinification process and fermented together with freshly crushed grapes. The temperature of the fermentation was moderate, never hot, to preserve the fruit and to extract only a moderate amount of tannins from the seeds. The fermented grapes were pressed still sweet and when reached dryness the wine was moved to small French oak barrels for about one year and a half of aging.
