Francis Ford Coppola, Diamond Collection, Pinot Noir 2021
DESCRIPTION
Crafted by cellar master Corey Beck, the Diamond Collection Pinot Noir is Francis Ford Coppola's most accomplished expression of the Californian style. Sourced from Santa Barbara vineyards, where the grapes benefit from slow and gradual ripening, this wine develops a soft and silky texture, carried by aromas of red cherry, redcurrant, cinnamon and liquorice.
Oak ageing brings roundness and complexity without ever overpowering the fruit, while crunchy tannins and moderate acidity ensure balance and freshness on the palate.
A generous, impeccably crafted Pinot Noir that embodies the Californian art of letting the fruit take centre stage.
REGION
Santa Barbara, CA
United States
Santa Barbara is a cool climate wine region known for the excellence of its Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah. Its geography is unique in California: the valleys open from east to west, perpendicular to the coast, letting Pacific breezes and fog reach deep inland and naturally cool the vineyards. The Santa Ynez Valley, the Santa Maria Valley and the Sta. Rita Hills offer contrasting terroirs, from sandy and limestone soils to diatomaceous soils, producing wines of great aromatic precision and lovely natural tension. It is a region that combines the brilliance of the Californian sun with the freshness of the ocean, for wines that are both sunny and elegant.
