Francis Ford Coppola Winery Unveils Newest Addition To Award Winning Diamond Collection

Geyersville, CA (November 30, 2020) — Francis Ford Coppola Winery today announced the newest addition to its award-winning Diamond Collection with the introduction of a 2019 Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon. Sourced from the Creston District, San Juan Creek, and Highland counties, this is the first wine from the collection to be sourced solely from Paso Robles, and is a blend showcasing the uniqueness of the wines coming out of that region.

“One of the great joys tasting wine is discovering how the expression of a grape can change from place to place: the color, the aroma, the texture, the flavor”, said Gary Sitton, Vice President of Winemaking, “Paso Robles is a warm growing region, with relatively low annual rainfall and a diverse mixture of soil types. With its distinctive flavor profile it is a perfect complement to the Coppola family of Cabernets: our Classic Diamond Cabernet Sauvignon and our best selling Diamond Claret.”

Ideal for the upcoming winter months, the Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon boasts delightful notes of black fruits, coffee, almond, and vanilla on the nose. Concentrated ripe stone fruits meet a hint of toasted oak on the palate. Small amounts of Petit Verdot provide spice and color, while Petite Sirah contributes depth of flavor, color, and concentration. Engaging and fruity, this wine is full-bodied and intense, with supple tannins and sophisticated character enhanced by a long, spicy finish.  Aged for 10 months over French Oak barrels, this wine is 13.5% alcohol and a good fit for winter pairings like holiday roasts, mashed potatoes and cheese plates with sharp and aged cheeses.

The wine will be available online for purchase direct-to-consumer on Monday, November 30, 2020 for $21 and launch in stores early next year.
