Poppy

Situated in the heart of the Monterrey Wine Country, Poppy was founded by the Silva Family in 2003 with an eye toward producing excellent Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Sauvignon in several Central Coast appellations, such as Santa Lucia Highlands, Arroyo Seco, Monterey and Paso Robles. This Chardonnay was sourced exclusively from a hillside vineyard in the cool Santa Lucia Highlands. Whereas past vintages drew from several coastal vineyards, the focus this year was on showcasing the unique qualities of this single site. The resulting wine is beautifully balanced and luscious with a clean, inviting nose that showcases tropical fruit, floral notes (especially orange blossom), citrus, and subtle spice. The generous palate offers flavors of tropical and stone fruit enhanced by well-balanced acidity. This is a wine to savor and enjoy, a true testament to the quality of grapes grown in the Santa Lucia Highlands.
