Pinot Noir

Monterey County Pinot Noir

The Poppy Pinot Noir hails from the stunning Monterey County, a region renowned for its ideal climatic conditions for growing exceptional Pinot Noir. This red wine showcases a vibrant, ruby hue that immediately catches the eye. On the palate, it delivers a delightful combination of fresh fruit flavors, with notes of cherry, raspberry, and a hint of earthiness, making it a true fruit-forward delight. The acidity is bright and invigorating, enhancing the overall experience and providing a refreshing backdrop for the expressive fruit. Tannins are elegantly woven into the wine, adding just the right amount of structure without overwhelming the delicate profile. Enjoyed chilled, this Poppy Pinot Noir is a wonderful choice for a picnic-friendly lunch, perfectly complementing a variety of dishes while remaining wonderfully versatile.

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
