Francis Ford Coppola, the winery's full name, has long been a prominent California winery. Its versatility, as befits a good director, is remarkable. Coppola vineyards can be found in every corner of California: Monterrey, Sonoma, and Napa Valley. Coppola has always been able to combine the best of many regions.
This Coppola Cabernet Sauvignon Paso Robles is an ode to Coppola's winemaking heritage. Perfect grape varieties combine to create a cohesive whole. You might think this Coppola wine is entirely Cabernet Sauvignon, but nothing could be further from the truth. A large portion, 89 percent, is Cabernet Sauvignon. Six percent Petit Verdot is added for tension and complexity, and 4% Petit Sirah adds the necessary depth. The 1 percent Tannat adds the finishing touch to Coppola Cabernet Sauvignon Paso Robles.
The blend is world-class; almost heavenly. The oak aging makes this Coppola red wine truly complete. It lasts a full 10 months in authentic oak barrels. This oak aging adds so much punch to the wine, you won't want to get enough. The aroma is heavy and present. Think blackcurrant, fresh blackberry, and robust coffee. A sultry, proud note of vanilla and roasted almonds completes the Coppola Cabernet Sauvignon Paso Robles. The robust, concentrated flavor will keep you coming back for another sip. Despite its heavy and robust character, the finish remains smooth and refined.
