Francis Ford Coppola Diamond Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 (California)

Description

Cherry, Oak, Vanilla

"California and Cabernet go together like a cold night in winter and a roaring fire -if you'll excuse the predictable image that this wine brings to mind. This Cabernet opens with ripe dark fruit aromas of blackberries and plums in a  medium bodied wine, wrapped in aromas of vanilla and smoked cedar. It's a soft, drink-me-now winter red, which drinks very nicely with slow cooked savoury dishes - parmigiana di melanzane being a tasty case in point" Joelle Thomson

The 2022 vintage started off cold and dry. Initially inconsistent weather patterns created a lighter crop, but mild to warm weather later provided perfect conditions to develop concentration and flavor. Overall, a very nice harvest producing beautifully concentrated wines.

Diamond collection Cabernet Sauvignon derives its complexity by blending fruit from contrasting soil compositions and climates. The beauty of Diamond Cabernet Sauvignon is that it offers a great deal of dimension while still having supple enough tannins for immediate drinkability.
