Wine Tasting - Poppy: Pinot Noir 2018

 



Name: Poppy: Pinot Noir 2018

Variety: Pinot Noir

Region: Monterey County

Country:  USA

Vintage: 2018

Price: 14$

 

Winery Review: “The red fruit brightens across the palate, picking up raspberry and spice are balanced by the French toasted oak aromas. Soft and silky through the middle, this wine crescendo on the finish leaves a juicy memory in the mouth, with proper acidity and a pleasant mouth-feel. “ – Binny’s Beverage Depot

 

Wine Folly: Primary flavors include “cherries, plum, mushroom, clove, and hibiscus”.

I could taste the cherries and plum. And the mushroom flavor is similar to the earthy/musty flavor I tasted.

 

My Review: I yet to find a red wine that I could honestly drink a whole bottle of, but this Pinot Noir may be that that bottle. With a vintage of 2018, the red was extremely smooth but still tannic. It smells jammy with notes of plum, cherry, strawberry, vanilla, and a bit of earthy mustiness. It tasted fruity with strong hit of cherry and a bit of oak.

Tasted along with dinner with pizza and a salad.
