Description

This red wine, which is made from the Zinfandel grape supplemented with 5% Syrah has a beautiful sultry scent with lots of pepperiness, raspberries, cherry fruit, vanilla, nicely typified for this grape, very intense. A smooth start, delicious jam and some pepper, creamy and intense, lots of depth and power, ripe and tasty, a light spiciness, some smooth tannins after. Enjoy with pepper steak, lamb with rosemary, pasta with sauces based on dried tomatoes and great with the barbecue.

The Zinfandel is the very powerful grape and wine of California, the wine pride of its own, which we hardly encounter anywhere else - only in the south of Italy, where it goes by the name 'Primitivo'. The Zinfandel gets a lot of concentration from old vines in Amador County in the south and somewhat cooler vineyards in Paso Robles and Sonoma. The low rainfall in Paso Robles is ideal for the depth of this wine. A little Petit Syrah has been added to give it some extra sweet fruit, some roundness and juice - a perfect combination. After fermentation, the wine is matured for fourteen months in barriques. American oak is often used for this, but for this Zinfandel a conscious choice was made for exclusively French wood, to give it a subtle vanilla tone, which goes well with the beautiful fruit aromas.

Francis Ford Coppola (Detroit, April 7, 1939) is an American director, film producer and screenwriter known for The Godfather trilogy and Apocalypse Now and is considered one of the most important directors in Hollywood. In addition, Francis Ford Coppola has been active in wine growing and trading since the 1970s. In 1975, together with his wife, he bought the estate of the Finnish sea captain Gustave Niebaum in Rutherford, California (located in the famous wine region of Napa Valley) and the surrounding vineyards. That winery is now called the Rubicon Estate Winery. Coppola is also the owner of the Francis Ford Coppola Winery in the Sonoma Valley.

Winemaking has been a long-standing tradition in the Coppola family. Francis Ford Coppola has been making wine even longer than he has been directing films. Grandfather Coppola used to make wine in the cellars of their New York apartment from grapes that had been specially imported from California. The wines that Coppola makes today are no longer the same as those from the cellars in New York, but they are made with the same philosophy. Wines to drink with friends and family.

The parent company of Francis Ford Coppola Winery was named USA Wine Producer of the Year by the International Wine & Spirit Competition on November 16, 2011.

Review by Diamond Deb
Tried a bottle that was marked down. Went back and purchased 8 (eight) bottles that were left on the shelf.
The fruit is toward without any harsh tannins. ABV 15%. Went well with the spices in gumbo and beans & rice. Delicious with the meals, great for the price, and blessed for the way I felt the next day.
