DESCRIPTION
Francis Ford Coppola Eleanor 2018 is a powerful Sonoma County blend, often compared to the great Australian blends. A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Syrah, 6% Malbec, 4% Petite Sirah, and 3% Cabernet Franc. Aged for 15 months in French oak barrels, pH 3.62, total acidity 6.0 g/L. This cuvée stands out for its exceptional depth and complexity, offering remarkable cellaring potential. 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, toasted nuts, chocolate, and mocha, accompanied by subtle notes of spices, tobacco, and vanilla. On the palate, a structure that is both robust and silky, with a long and concentrated finish that leaves an elegant and warm impression. It pairs perfectly with a spiced lamb stew or a herb-crusted filet mignon. Serve at 18°C. Cellaring potential of 25 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.
