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.

Santa Barbara is a cool-climate wine region celebrated for the precision and elegance of its Pinot Noirs, Chardonnays and Syrahs. Its geography is unique in California: the valleys run east to west, perpendicular to the coastline, allowing Pacific fogs and breezes to travel deep inland and naturally cool the vineyards. The Santa Ynez Valley, Santa Maria Valley and Sta. Rita Hills each offer distinctive terroirs, from sandy and calcareous soils to diatomaceous earth, producing wines of remarkable aromatic definition and natural tension. It is a region that marries California sunshine with oceanic freshness, yielding wines that are at once generous and refined.
