Description
Francis Ford Coppola actually knows three families of wines. Each with its own characteristics. The Diamond collection are actually the entry wines and are among the most popular wines of Coppola. The Directors Cut series is the top series of Coppola. The most beautiful fruit a long maturation and a relatively limited supply and from relatively small areas. The Director series is the middle segment and for us personally one of the most beautiful series. As with the Directors Cut, the wines come from Sonoma, but the Director series was created when the winemaker started creating a series of wines that had to reflect his own artistic interpretation of the Sonoma County appellation. With the Director's wines, the fruit comes from various vineyards of Sonoma County, each with its own climate and terroir. The wines from the Directors series are characterized by lush, ripe fruit, a light, silky texture and soft, supple tannins. The wines of Coppola's Director's demonstrate Sonoma County's unique character and style.
The Sonoma Coast Director's Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from vineyards throughout the appellation. The region is known for its daily influx of fog and ocean breezes which add complexity to this wine and are a gift from nature. The Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon from the Directors series is sourced from vineyards throughout the Sonoma County appellation with a very small percentage of Cabernet Franc and Syrah added to give the wine even more complexity. The wine is aged in oak (70% French and 30% American - 25% new barrels in total). The Director Cabernet Sauvignon offers enticing aromas and flavors of plums, berries, cocoa and spices with lingering notes of vanilla toasted oak. Round and ripe on the palate with supple tannins. This wine is the perfect accompaniment to a blue cheese topped burger, turkey pot pie or a spicy lentil stew.

Where wine used to be the exclusive property of winegrowers, it has now also become the playground of celebrities with a passion for wine. Director Francis Ford Coppola, with great films to his name as Apocalypse Now, is a true wine lover. For him, the decision to buy a wine company in the renowned Napa Valley wine region was a logical consequence of this passion for wine. Actually, in 1975, Coppola was looking for a home for the summer months, where he could make some wine in the basement like his grandparents once did. Wine making has been a tradition in the Coppola family for several generations. Agostino Coppola, Francis Ford Coppola's grandfather, made wine in the basement of his New York apartment building. He used cement barrels that he had built himself.
In his search, Francis Coppola came across Inglenook, a special estate in Rutherford, the part of Napa Valley where cabernet sauvignon thrives. The Napa wine company, which produces wines from its own vineyards, was named after its most famous wine, the Rubicon, so it is now known as Rubicon Estate, a producer of absolute top wines. The other wines were housed in Geyserville, Sonoma County, at the Rosso & Bianco Winery. Since 2006 the wines have been made under the name Diamond Collection and Rosso & Bianco, of course as real Coppola wines, with the same high quality requirements. The introduction of this new winery, with all modern techniques, has brought an extra step forward in the quality of the wines under the Francis Ford Coppola Diamond label. This label works with grapes from all over the California coastal strip, where they are purchased from growers with long-term contracts to ensure solid, reliable quality. There is constant consultation between winemakers and growers to arrange all the details of the vineyard management and to determine the exact time for picking. Unlike Hollywood stars, Francis Ford Coppola's wines are by no means superficial: they are powerful, perfectly balanced, have a long finish and are pleasantly smooth. In 2001, the Francis Ford Coppola winery was awarded “Winery of the Year” (Wine & Spirits).
