(10% discount)
The 2021 vintage produced some of the best fruit and richest wines we have seen in recent years. This vintage of Tall Poppy is comprised of the Pommard, 667, and 777 clones and is sourced from four blocks within our estate: Deerfield, Rainbow 777, First Light and Hilltop. These prime blocks nearly always go into our Tall Poppy of Reserve Pinor Noirs. This wine aged in barrel for 16 months in 20% new French oak, picking up more layers of complexity and bold aromatics to accentuate the generous black fruit qualities.
Dark garnet color, black currant, white pepper, rose, soft spice, supple texture.

“At first, the Tall Poppy seems closed and rather unremarkable. Slowly, with some swirling, the wine rises above your initial impression. That’s when blackberries and anise aromas collide with notes of anise and fresh turned earth. Cranberry, raspberry and green tea flavors are backed by the wine’s brawny tannins. Enjoy now through 2035.” – Michael Alberty
