Poplar Grove Merlot 1998
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaAll the Poplar reds have a bit of volatility or lifted fruit. This merlot is slightly unclean on the nose but much better in the mouth with earthy cherry smoky fruit flavours. There's a lot of dry tannins in the finish that need to drop away before you can enjoy the vintage.Tasted: 01 May 2001Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $21.90 | 750ml | Winery |
