The zin steals the show here, overwhelming the senses with a hefty blackberry jam character, with a smattering of blueberries and strawberries thrown in. B+ / $16Ģ016 Francis Ford Coppola Cinema Sonoma County – A blend of 40% cabernet sauvignon, 35% zinfandel, 17% syrah, and 8% petite sirah. A- / $16Ģ017 Francis Ford Coppola Pinot Noir Director’s Cut Russian River Valley – Cola and spice and gently savory bacon notes meld with blackberry and modest cherry notes to create a fairly cohesive whole, though the finished product feels slightly lacking in fruit and acidity, weighted down on the finish by a somewhat heavy earthy, clove-heavy quality that picks up late in the game. A modest brown butter character evokes a certain creaminess, though a spike of lemon and some lychee freshens things up.

Never one to shy away from a wine release, Francis Ford Coppola hits the ground this summer with (at least) five new releases, thoughts on which you’ll find below.Ģ017 Francis Ford Coppola Sofia Brut Rose Monterey County – The iconic Sofia sparkler (wrapped in plastic, natch) really pushes the boundaries of the definition of “brut,” with this almost candy-coated offering that melds strawberries with notes of orange blossoms to create a bubbly offering that’s best served after dinner, not before it.
