Francis Ford Coppola, Diamond Collection, Cabernet Sauvignon Paso Robles 2019
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 States
Halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, Paso Robles is the largest and boldest wine region on California's Central Coast. With over 200 estates spread across 40,000 acres of vineyards, it is a region of contrasts, between the hotter, drier east with scorching days and the cooler west, influenced by Pacific sea breezes. This remarkable temperature range is ideal for great reds: powerful, structured Cabernet Sauvignon, spicy Zinfandel with generous tannins, and Rhône style blends led by Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre, among the most expressive in California. Above all, Paso Robles is a region of pioneers, driven by independent winemakers who push the limits of the appellation with rare creative freedom.
