AWARDED 93/100 POINTS & 5 STARS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

"Richly fruited and enticing, the bouquet shows golden peach, pineapple, vanillin oak and warm spice aromas, leading to a wonderfully flavoursome palate that's generous and creamy. Well structured by gentle acidity, finishing soothing and comforting. At its best: now to 2026" Sam Kim; The Wine Orbit

Francis Ford Coppola is best known as the five-time Oscar-winning director, writer, and producer of such epic films as the Godfather trilogy and Apocalypse Now. In 1975, Francis and Eleanor purchased part of the historic Inglenook Estate, including over 1400 acres of land and founder Gustave Niebaum’s Victorian home and carriage house. Coppola renamed the estate Niebaum-Coppola and in 1978 produced the first vintage of Rubicon. The Coppolas restored the Chateau and grounds to grandeur, making it one of the most beautiful visitor destinations in the Napa Valley. The Coppola Rosso & Bianco range is an excellent introduction into the estates style.
