Francis Coppola Diamond Collection Pinot Noir 750ML
A fruit-forward, lushly-textured Pinot Noir expressive of sunny days and cool Pacific nights. Grapes are harvested in early morning, crushed immediately and cold soaked for 48 hours, intensifying the color. This wine has an interesting story best told by our winemaker Corey Beck: “Our Diamond Collection Pinot Noir is sourced from a vineyard just east of the Santa Lucia Highlands in Monterey Country. This vineyard was originally planted with Merlot vines – however, after a few years of working with it, we realized its Bay-influenced cool temperatures and abundant afternoon sunshine created potential for producing great Pinot Noir. This inspired our first pre-plant contract with the grower in preparation for the wine’s introduction in 2001, well before the rise of Pinot Noir popularity. This long-standing relationship allows us to deliver exceptional Pinot Noir from a prime growing region.”
