Archimedes Pine Mountain Cloverdale-Peak Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2022 Archimedes Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon comes from a site more than 2,300 feet above sea level in the Pine Mountain–Cloverdale Peak AVA, and it’s one of the most intense, spicy, structured, and deeply fruited wines of the vintage. Beautifully pure mulberry fruit and graphite nuances intertwine with rose petal and perfumed violet aromas that draw you in. The palate flows with rivers of dark fruit, plump tannins, and stony earth minerality. It’s an immensely pleasing wine, delivering sheer drinking joy.

Francis Coppola Reserve Dutton Ranch Chardonnay

A soft, supple, and inviting Chardonnay brimming with crushed almond character and buttered croissant notes that make it hard to put down. Add to that a medium- to full-bodied richness with ripe apple and pear fruit, along with pressed wildflowers and honeysuckle on the lengthy finish. Sourced from the sixth-generation Dutton Ranch in the Russian River Valley. Aged for 10 months in barrels—90% new French oak from hand-selected forests such as Allier, Tronçais, and Vosges, with the remaining 10% in new Hungarian oak.

Director's Cut Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Talk about a richly structured, fabulous wine—this 2023 release brims with dark cherry and blackberry fruit, rich redwood forest accents, and crushed volcanic stone. The full-bodied, juicy palate is undeniably enjoyable, with layers of white pepper and volcanic minerality on the finish that will excite sommeliers and casual drinkers alike. It’s a joyful, universal wine that overdelivers at its price point. Aged for 16 months in 45% new oak (approximately 35% French and 10% American).

Director's Cut Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon

In 2023, Francis Ford Coppola can’t miss—the wines are pure, exciting, and elegantly textured. This Director’s Cut Sonoma Cabernet frames a beautiful mix of red berry fruit with blue-fruited nuances, cedarwood accents, and burly tannins dusted with unsweetened cocoa powder. A burst of blood orange acidity brightens the finish, adding lift and freshness. A great vintage to buy and enjoy with hearty fare or aged cheeses. Aged for 14 months in 45% new oak.

The Wines of Francis Coppola Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel

A juicy, strawberry–rhubarb-fruited Zinfandel layered with espresso bean, cinnamon–nutmeg spice, a hint of vanilla, and a kiss of cedarwood. Full-bodied on the palate with robust, slightly chocolaty tannins that glide to a long, expressive finish. The label, featuring Eleanor Coppola’s handwriting, is inspired by the family’s original wine labels from the early 1980s. Aged in 40% new French oak.
