'Diamond Collection' Claret

Francis Coppola's Diamond Collection Claret from Alexander Valley showcases the power and elegance of Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon. A full-bodied wine with high tannin structure, it opens with dominant blackcurrant and dark plum fruit, layered with cedar and oak from careful winemaking. Black pepper spice and tobacco notes emerge on the mid-palate, while leather and graphite minerality develop with air, suggesting complexity that rewards cellaring. The wine's substantial frame and acidity make it a natural partner for grilled steaks, braised beef, and herb-forward lamb preparations.
