Poplar Grove CSM 2020

Poplar Grove CSM 2020 is an incredibly refined, energetic, and beautifully structured red blend from the Naramata Bench pioneer, Poplar Grove Winery. Crafted from estate-grown fruit sourced 60% from vineyards in Osoyoos and 40% in Penticton, this complex vintage pours a deep purple in the color. The nose opens with a fragrant, expressive bouquet of purple plum, baking spices, and wet tobacco. On the palate, it exhibits a medium-bodied, remarkably balanced mouthfeel driven by a core of sage, blackberry, dark cherry, and subtle vanilla bean. Supported by a crisp vein of natural acidity and smooth, rounded tannins, it glides seamlessly into a fresh, lively, and dry finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs spectacularly with charcoal-grilled gourmet sausages, wood-fired pepper salami pizza, slow-simmered savory meat stews, or grilled lamb chops.
