Francis Ford Coppola Director's Cut Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
DESCRIPTION
Francis Ford Coppola Director's Cut Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 is sourced from selected Californian terroirs for this Director's Cut range, produced in a more ambitious and age-worthy style. This Cabernet Sauvignon benefits from extended aging in French oak barrels, bringing depth, structure, and complexity. It features a total acidity of 6.1 g/L and a pH of 3.73. Founded by legendary filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, the winery was born out of his love for wine and family memories. In 1974, Coppola acquired a historic property in Rutherford, Napa Valley, with the profits from The Godfather. In 2006, he inaugurated a second winery in Geyserville, Sonoma County. 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 touches of spice, vanilla, and tobacco. On the palate, ripe, concentrated fruit meets subtle toasted oak, offering an opulent texture and a long, spicy finish. Pairs with grilled steak or roasted Portobello mushrooms. Aging potential of 10 years and beyond.

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.
