Francis Ford Coppola Director's Cut Zinfandel

Made with fruit grown entirely in the Dry Creek Valley appellation, where the combination of climate and location produces excellent Zinfandel fruit with intensely concentrated flavor.

Half of the fruit was crushed whole, and the must (seeds and skins) was fermented in open-top fermentors for maximum color extraction and flavor enhancement.

The wine was then aged in French oak barrels for twelve months, creating a wine with deep, rich layers of blueberries, raspberries, dark chocolate and mint, along with a lingering vanilla caramel finish.

Delicious with soup, pork and spicey dishes.

Francis Ford Coppola Winery

Der US-Amerikaner Francis Ford Coppola ist vielen als erfolgreicher Regisseur und Produzent bekannt. Er führte Regie bei berühmten Klassikern wie „Der Pate“ und „Apocalypse Now“ und zählt heute zu den bedeutendsten Filmschaffenden des US-amerikanischen Kinos.

In Geyserville in Kalifornien betreibt Francis Ford Coppola sein Weingut. Die Kulisse seines unweit von Hollywood gelegenen Anwesens erinnert in vielerlei Hinsicht an seine effektvollen Filme. Die Weinherstellung hat in der Familie Coppola Tradition. Bereits sein Großvater produzierte im Keller seiner New Yorker Wohnung Wein aus kalifornischen Trauben. 1979 erwarb Francis Ford Coppola den ersten Teil des Weingutes Inglenook in Kalifornien. 1995 kaufte er die verbliebenen Teile des Anwesens und baut seitdem hauptsächlich die Rebsorte Cabernet Sauvignon an.

2007 erweiterte Francis Ford Coppola sein Weingut um das Château Sovereign im Sonoma Valley. Dort werden von seinem Winemaker Corey Beck unter anderem die Weinserien „Diamond Collection" und „Director‘s Cut" produziert. Beste Weinbau-Bedingungen bieten Coppola das zuverlässig warme Klima in Kalifornien und die vielseitigen Anbauflächen auf vulkanischen Böden, Schwemmland-Böden oder auch sehr steinigen Lehmböden.

Product recommendation

Francis Ford Coppola Diamond Collection Zinfandel
Beautiful sultry aroma with plenty of strawberries, plums, black forest berries and cloves well characterized for this grape, very intense.On the palate a smooth commitment, delicious jams, pepper, creamy and intense, a lot of depth and strength, ripe and tasty, a slight spiciness, some supple tannins after.Great with a lamb, pork or pastry as well as in combination with Mediterranean dishes with tomato sauce.

Robert Mondavi Private Selection Cabernet Sauvignon
Aromas of red berries and a fine spicy flavor characterize Robert Mondavi Private Selection Cabernet Sauvignon. Notes of blackberry, black currant and black cherry followed by hints of toast, oak, roasted nuts and delicate vanilla give a complex, seductive bouquet. On the palate the blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot, Petit Syrah, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot and Tannat offers a remarkable depth. The wine is soft and full-bodied, with juicy, concentrated fruit and fine toasted notes. The fresh acidity gives the wine its vitality.Enjoy this composition from the California Central Coast wine-growing region to grilled lamb chops or roast beef. Also with spicy pasta dishes such as spicy stuffed ravioli or lasagne, this Cabernet Sauvignon is the perfect companion.

Barista Pinotage
A burst of intense, rich coffee and chocolate aromas with ripe nuances of mulberry, plum and Maraschino cherries. A wine ready to be enjoyed.Perfect with everything! It has been listed in several restaurants as an accompaniment of different meat types, rich, creamy casseroles and even the most controversial desserts. Bertus’ favourite remains a blue cheese filled brandy snap, with Belgium chocolate and roasted coffee beans…

Francis Ford Coppola Director's Cut Cabernet Sauvignon
The Francis Ford Coppola Director’s Cut Cabernet Sauvignon is, as the Americans would say, an outstanding wine from the Sonoma Valley. With this wine, the ‘director’ created ‘Hollywood at its finest’, in which small percentages of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot join in as extras.Coppola puts special emphasis on those little things worthy of a Director’s Cut. A special, careful fermentation, 15 months of ageing in French and American oak casks and a meticulous selection of the grapes in each plot are the ‘special effects’ used by Coppola and his oenologist Cory Beck.The result is a powerful ‘epic’, offering aromas of black currants, plums and black cherries as well as notes of cigar-box on the nose. The wine is opulent and well-defined on the palate, showing lots of red and black fruit and notes of tobacco, leather and vanilla. Its finish is long-lasting and worthy of a ‘thrilling showdown’.All in all, the Francis Ford Coppola Director’s Cut Cabernet Sauvignon is a round and fruity delight, with lots of complexity, making this wine perfect to enjoy on its own. We recommend decanting the wine 1-2 hours before drinking it. It will remain at the peak of its maturity for the next several years.Try this wine with pies, game, steaks or blue cheeses.
