What is the style of our Diamond Sauvignon Blanc? Click here to see what winemaker Corey Beck has to say.

To create a light, fresh Sauvignon Blanc that displays intense fruit flavors and exceptional balance, we source grapes from three different appellations.

Grapes that come from Napa give us juicy tropical fruit flavors, the Alexander Valley fruit provides a solid backbone of citrus, while Mendocino grapes contribute to the luscious aromatics in our wine.

To keep this varietal bright and refreshing, we ferment and finish our wine exclusively in stainless steel.

Food Pairings

Director's Cut Zinfandel 2007 -- Hear what winemaker Corey Beck has to say about the Director's Cut Zinfandel! Click here for a video clip. Recommended by Peter Gianotti of New York NEWSDAY as a "very good wine deal". Dry Creek Valley There are two methodologies for growing Zinfandel in Dry Creek Valley. One consists of traditional farming practices, which includes the dry-farming of head-trained, spur-pruned vines, that are quite mature and severely thinned in the spring to produce low yields. The other employs more modern methods, including bilateral cordon, spur-pruned on-wire trellising, drop irrigation, and carefully manicured canopies. We source our Zinfandel grapes from vineyards on the benchlands and hillsides, which are farmed both ways. The combination of the area’s climate, our vineyard sites, and the two types of the farming methods used produces excellent fruit with intensely concentrated flavor. Vintage profile The 2007 vintage was a winemaker’s dream, and, quite possibly, the vintage of a lifetime. . . .

Francis Coppola Diamond Alicante Bouschet 2007 -- Since its inception, the Francis Coppola Diamond Collection has been an expansive endeavor to create consistently high-quality wines that are pure expressions of each varietal. We seek out vineyard sites across California, which ensure superior grapes year-after-year, and we employ precise winemaking techniques to showcase the true character of our fruit. This enterprise has become a true labor of love. We invite you to share it with us. Winemaker’s Notes During the years of Prohibition, there were legal loopholes that allowed families to procure grapes and make limited quantities of table wine. Most of the fruit was varietals we consider rare today, but they offered wonderfully unique tasting experiences that many recall with great nostalgia. As a child, Francis Coppola’s grandfather made homemade wine using Alicante Bouschet grapes shipped in by train. Some years back, Mr. Coppola expressed a yearning for that unique varietal he grew up with, so we traveled about and tasted grapes . . .

Francis Coppola Diamond Petite Sirah 2007 -- The Francis Coppola Diamond Collection began in 1997 as an ambitious endeavor to make wines of character and complexity at an affordable price.   Sourced from California vineyards that not only have proven track records but are also managed according to our rigorous standards, Diamond Collection wines are classic California expressions that offer fruit-forward, multi-dimensional flavor and immediate drinkability.   Our illustrious lineup includes eleven single-varietal wines, plus our flagship red proprietary blend, Claret. These wines are a true labor of love—we invite you to share them with us. Winemaker’s Notes My grandfather, John Rolleri, was a Napa Valley grape grower back when the California wine industry was just gaining notoriety. His favorite grape was Petite Sirah, and because it had been a passion of his, I, too, developed a fondness for the varietal. Once I became a winemaker, I sought out prime Petite Sirah vineyards, and started experimenting with different . . .

Francis Coppola Diamond Pinot Grigio 2008 -- Winemaker’s NotesPopularized in Northern Italy where seafood is abundant, Pinot Grigio is a varietal that requires a temperate climate and delicate handling. Our Pinot Grigio is grown in California’s cool climate appellations, where the grape performs its best. Picked in the early morning hours, fermented at cold temperatures and finished in stainless steel, Francis Coppola Diamond Collection Pinot Grigio is bright and crisp with an accent of minerals.The 2008 vintage was tricky across California—severe spring frost damaged the vineyards and a heat wave in late August prompted harvest to begin a few weeks early. On the upside of this, the frost that occurred early in the year diminished the overall fruit yield. Having less fruit on the vines meant that the grapes that remained had more flavor concentration because the vines didn’t need to nourish as much fruit. So, in spite of uncooperative weather, our Pinot Grigio delivers good body and balance and beautifully aromatic fruit flavors . . .

WINEMAKER’S NOTES When people ask us where the best Zinfandel is grown, we aren’t quite sure what to say because there are so many spectacular regions where this varietal thrives.

Francis Coppola Diamond Zinfandel 2007 -- Why do we add Petite Syrah to our Diamond Zinfandel? Click here to have winemaker Corey Beck tell you why. Winemaker’s NotesOur Diamond Zinfandel is an expression of several unique appellations and one incredible vintage. From our Hog’s Canyon vineyard in Paso Robles comes fruit that was highly concentrated as a result of dry summer temperatures that exceeded 95ºF. At the other end of the appellation, we sourced from a vineyard comprised of gravely clay loam soils similar to those of Australia’s Barossa Valley. This fruit was blended with grapes from our Sonoma County vineyards, which typically provide very high-quality fruit that ripens evenly and exudes immense character and flavor. Finally, we added an extra layer of complexity by blending in a small amount of Petite Sirah. The resulting wine has a solid structure and mature tannins to give balance to Zinfandel’s inherently “jammy” nature.Tasting ProfileAppearance: Deep purple garnetAromas: Strawberry jam, briary blackberries, toasted . . .
