Francis Ford Coppola Winery Director's Cut Pinot Noir 2008
Varietal: Pinot Noir
Vineyard: Francis Ford Coppola Winery
Region: Sonoma County, California
After harvest, we placed whole-clusters of fruit into open-top fermenters and performed punch downs several times a day. Once the must was pressed, we placed the wine into small French oak barrels for a year to undergo maturation, racking it several times throughout its development.
Our 2008 Director's Cut Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir displays a vibrant personality and silky texture. It's highly aromatic, with scents of cloves, tea leaves, and roses, followed by bright flavors of red cherries, cranberries, and plums.
