Fleshy, woven, juicy.
Poplar Grove's signature proprietary blend of Cabernet Franc (33%), Malbec (25%), Merlot (15%), Cabernet Sauvignon (14%) and Petit Verdot (13%) was aged 21 months in French oak barrels followed by another two years in bottle before release.
Fig jam, balsamic and prune aromas are woven with tobacco, creamy dark chocolate, brown spice and dried cherries. The palate is juicy, the fruit fleshy and there are distinct tertiary flavours from age. The finish trails spiced red cherries.
Drink now.
