Poplar Grove Merlot 1997
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaOkanagan Valley, British Columbia Earthy cherry plum aromas, quite spicy too. Richer and rounder than any other '97 merlot. Earthy smoky cherry flavours that are slightly vegetative in the finish. Pleasant forward style. Good but we look forward to tasting a riper vintage like 1998.
