Francis Ford Coppola Wines
#1 Diamond Collection Yellow Label Savignon Blanc
This is a light, elegant white wine that balances sweet, juicy flavors with bright acidity.
To create a light, fresh Sauvignon Blanc that displays good balance and vibrant flavors, Coppola blends grapes from three locations: Alexander Valley, Sonoma Valley and Lake County. Alexander Valley fruit provides a core of citrus and juicy tropical fruit flavors. The high elevation volcanic soils of Lake County contribute pretty floral notes and the Sonoma Valley grapes boast distinct mineral nuances. To capture the varietal's aromatic qualities, the wine is fermented and finished in stainless steel.

#2 Diamond Collection Gold Label Chardonnay
Awarded 'Best of Class' in 2012 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. It is bright and balanced, highlighted by juicy apple, cantaloupe and pear flavors enveloped in a crème brûlée finish.
This Chardonnay reflects the distinctive personality of Monterey vineyards. Whole-cluster pressing and a combination of barrel and stainless steel fermentation ensures that the creamy texture and caramelized sugar finish is balanced by a crisp acidity.

The Diamond Collection Pinot Noir is sourced from a vineyard just east of the Santa Lucia Highlands in Monterey County. This vineyard is located in a prime growing region providing Bay-influenced cool temperatures and abundant afternoon sunshine producing a very rich and fragrant Pinot Noir that offers pronounced floral notes and a distinct earthy character.

#4 Diamond Collection Black Label Claret
Coppola Winery's signature red wine is layered with flavors of blackberry, cassis and roasted espresso. Claret is a Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine, blended in the classic Bordeaux style.
Claret is a term originally coined by the British to describe Cabernet-based wines. This Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc blend is alluring and sophisticated; it is memorably lush with a tapestry of smooth tannins and succulent flavors of wild berries, plum and anise.
