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".Every bottle of Director's Cut honors the history of filmmaking. The graphic band which encircles the bottle was used in a 19th century invention called a zoetrope, which produces the illusion of moving pictures. This wine pushes the envelope of sheer decadence with an expressive fragrance of briary berries, strawberry jam, pepper and spice. Deep, rich layers of blueberries, raspberries, dark chocolate and mint build and linger with a vanilla caramel finish. Click here for the fact sheet

Francis Coppola Diamond Alicante Bouschet 2007 -- Why did we decide to make an Alicante Bouschet? Click here and let winemaker Corey Beck tell you the story. 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 in order to find the vineyard we thought produced the highest quality Alicante. We found that vineyard in Lodi, California, an appellation well known for producing red varietals that thrive in a warm climate. Our Magenta Label Alicante Bouschet is made from the fruit of 85-year-old vines. Rich in color and loaded with lush, jammy fruit, this smooth, medium-bodied red is richly textured, long on the finish, and easy to pair with a variety of grilled meats, barbecued pork sandwiches and international favorites such as empanadas.

Likewise, some of our vineyards experience a unique diurnal temperature pattern; extremely hot days are tempered by very cool nights, which slows the ripening process and enhances the flavor and complexity of this Cabernet. It has immense concentration, rich color, and profuse aromatics that give way to layers of enduring flavor.
