DESCRIPTION
The Francis Coppola Diamond Collection Cabernet Sauvignon Paso Robles 2019 delivers a generous and structured expression of Californian Cabernet Sauvignon. Sourced from the Paso Robles appellation and crafted by the Francis Ford Coppola Winery, it leads with ripe fruit, fine concentration and an accessible approach to the variety.
On the nose, aromas of blackberry, toasted oak and cigar box are accompanied by hints of dried herbs, in a register that is both intense and balanced. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, with ample substance supported by supple tannins. The whole remains harmonious, with a persistent finish carrying a lightly spiced edge.
Aged for 14 months in oak barrels, including a proportion of new wood, this Francis Coppola Cabernet Sauvignon Paso Robles develops structure and depth without losing clarity. An expressive Californian red, ideal with grilled meats or richly sauced dishes.
Region
Paso Robles, CA
United Sates
Nestled between Paso Robles to the north and Santa Barbara to the south, San Luis Obispo County is one of California's Central Coast best-kept secrets. It is a region of striking contrasts, where warm, sun-drenched inland vineyards sit just a few miles from cool, fog-laced coastal valleys shaped by the Pacific Ocean. From the Edna Valley to the slopes of Arroyo Grande and the emerging SLO Coast appellation, cool-climate whites, led by Chardonnay of real elegance, hold their own alongside precise Pinot Noirs and characterful Syrahs. A region that has yet to claim the fame of its neighbours, but in terms of quality and authenticity, has nothing to envy them.
