Francis Ford Coppola Diamond Collection Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
DESCRIPTION
Francis Ford Coppola Diamond Collection Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 is sourced from selected Californian terroirs, blending predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, pH 3.73, total acidity 6.1 g/L. This cuvée is the first in the Diamond Collection series to explore a renowned Californian appellation known for its varied topography, diverse soils, and distinct microclimats. Founded by the legendary filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, the estate was born out of his love for wine and family memories. In 1974, Coppola acquired a historic property in Rutherford, Napa Valley, using the profits from The Godfather. In 2006, he opened a second winery in Geyserville, in the Sonoma region. With iconic ranges like the Diamond Collection, Coppola combines tradition, quality, and accessibility, embodying the elegance of Californian wine.
On the nose, alluring aromas of black cherry, blackberry, and black pepper, with subtle hints of spices, vanilla, and tobacco. On the palate, ripe and concentrated fruits meet a subtle toasted oak, offering an opulent texture and a long, spicy finish. It pairs perfectly with a grilled herb steak or roasted Portobello mushrooms. Cellaring potential of 10 years and more.

The Sonoma Valley is an American wine region often seen as the cradle of Californian winemaking. The valley is the driest part of Sonoma County thanks to the shelter of the mountains. The region is regarded as the source of the finest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in Northern California, which benefit from the warm, sunny climate.
