Francis Ford Coppola Diamond Collection Pinot Noir
Francis Ford Coppola Diamond Collection Pinot Noir
- A fruit-forward, lushly-textured Pinot Noir expressive of sunny days and cool Pacific nights.
- Grapes are harvested in the 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 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 the 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’s popularity. This long-standing relationship allows us to deliver exceptional Pinot Noir from a prime growing region.”
“I’ve often felt that modern life tends to separate all the ages too much. In the old days, the children lived with their parents and grandparents, and the family unit each gave one another something very valuable. So when we began to develop the idea for this winery, we thought it should be like a resort, basically a wine wonderland, a park of pleasure where people of all ages can enjoy the best things in life – food, wine, music, dancing, games, swimming and performances of all types. A place to celebrate the love of life.” -Francis Ford Coppola
