Francis Coppola Director's Cut Pinot Noir

Director€™s Pinot Noir is made from a blend of Carneros and Russian River Valley fruit. Because we combine fruit from two appellations, we designate this wine €œSonoma Coast.€ Our Carneros fruit boasts notes of spice and earth while our Russian River fruit offers density and richness. We harvest in the early morning hours so that the fruit retains its vibrancy as it€™s placed into open-top fermenters. Daily punch downs of the must gently extract the color and flavors as fermentation progresses. Finally, we use Burgundy-style barrels for maturation. The 2014 Director€™s Pinot Noir boasts a beautiful perfume, velvety texture, and great density. You€™ll find scents of raspberries, cherries, spice box, and warm woods along with luscious flavors of strawberries, blackberries, and plums. Enjoy it paired with pork tenderloin, brisket, or a mushroom and gruyere tart.
