Francis Ford Coppola's Wine Selection

Character/Description

Bright and balanced, highlighted by juicy apple, cantaloupe and pear flavours enveloped in a crème brûlée finish.

Our Chardonnay reflects the distinctive personality of Monterey vineyards, which give rise to juicy apple, guava and melon flavours.  Whole-cluster pressing and a combination of barrel and stainless steel fermentation ensures that the creamy texture and caramelised sugar finish is balanced by a crisp acidity.

Character/Description

An opulent, structured Alexander Valley Cabernet. A wine with a striking bouquet containing aromas of raspberry jam, baked blueberries, violets, and smoky spice notes of clove, tobacco, and forest floor. An opulent, full-bodied palate presents juicy flavours of crushed cherries, berries, and cocoa. With the long, decadent finish you’ll find touches of caramel and toasted wood. Excellent structure and tannins make this wine capable of ageing for several more years.

Our signature red wine, layered with flavours of blackberry, cassis and roasted espresso. Claret is a Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine, blended in the classic Bordeaux style. This Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc blend is alluring and sophisticated; it is memorably lush with a tapestry of smooth tannins and succulent flavours of wild berries, plum and anise.

Character/Description

Similar to Australia’s famed Penfold’s Grange, Eleanor is a robust red blend that combines fruit from both of the Coppola properties. Blending Syrah and Petite Sirah grown in Rutherford with Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, we’ve created a unique bottling that is very long lived with exceptional depth and complexity. Beautifully perfumed with dramatic spices, our Eleanor offers a rich, velvety palate of jammy boysenberries, cassis and juicy plums enlivened by fragrant notes of black cherries, cloves, allspice and cocoa.

Sofia Rosé is a wine of unparalleled beauty. From its shapely, stylised bottle to its delicate fruity essence, this is a wine like no other. When served chilled, its refreshing style makes a delicious partner to light summer fare and savoury hors d’oeuvres. Feminine and stylish, with a fragrant perfume of wild strawberries, cardamom and lemon peel, this rosé is lively and balanced with succulent flavours of tangerine and a hint of stony minerals.
