Francis Coppola 2005 Director’s Cut Cabernet Sauvignon – Red Wine Red Wine by Francis Coppola from Sonoma County, California. We chose to make a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon rather than blend in other varietals so that we could create a real terroir wine with pure varietal flavor. As a result, the Director’s Cut Cabernet delivers enticing aromas of cola, cherry, and eucalyptus before revealing dark, rich berries, cassis and clack cherries, which is typical of fruit grown in the illustrious Alexander Valley. Uplifting aromas of cherry, blueberry, chocolate, plum and a whiff of graphite. Loaded with dark fruit flavors, baker’s chocolate and coconut accents. A tasty, polished wine that delivers classic California fruit, from front to back, at a fair price. -The Wine News
