Region and Vineyards

The Francis Ford Coppola Diamond Collection Zinfandel is sourced from premier vineyards across California, including Paso Robles and Sonoma County. These regions provide a variety of microclimates and terroirs, which contribute to the wine’s complexity and depth.

The warm days and cool nights typical of California’s Zinfandel-growing regions allow the grapes to achieve full ripeness while preserving their natural acidity. The diverse soils, ranging from clay loam to sandy soils, enhance the fruit’s character and structure. This meticulous vineyard selection ensures a balanced wine with rich flavors and a smooth texture.

Winemaking

This vintage involved a thoughtful blending of Zinfandel and a small percentage of Petite Sirah to enhance depth and structure. The grapes were hand-harvested at peak ripeness and underwent careful vinification to preserve their vibrant character.

Fermentation was carried out in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by 3.5 months of aging in a mix of French, Hungarian, and American oak barrels. The oak regimen imparts subtle notes of vanilla, black pepper, and caramel, complementing the wine's natural fruit intensity and adding layers of complexity.

Tasting Notes

  • Color: Deep ruby red with a slight purple hue.
  • Aromas: Enticing aromas of vanilla, caramel, and black pepper, layered with vibrant notes of blueberry and strawberry jam.
  • Palate: Bold and luscious, with flavors of black plum, cherry, and blueberry, balanced by supple tannins and a smooth, lingering finish. A touch of exotic spice and mineral adds depth to the profile.
