Francis Ford Coppola actually knows three families of wines. Each with its own characteristics. The Diamond collection are actually the entry wines and are among the most popular Coppola wines. The Directors Cut series is Coppola's top series. The most beautiful fruit has a long upbringing and a relatively limited supply and from relatively small areas. The Director series is the middle segment and for us personally one of the most beautiful series. As with the Directors Cut, the wines come from Sonoma, but the Director Series was created when the winemaker set out to create a range of wines that reflected his own artistic interpretation of the Sonoma County appellation. The Director's wines use fruit from several Sonoma County vineyards, each with its own climate and terroir. The wines from the Directors series are characterized by lush, ripe fruit, a light silky texture and soft, supple tannins. Coppola's Director's wines showcase Sonoma County's unique character and style.
