Francis Coppola - Director's Cut Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma County NV (750ml) Petite Syrah Loire Valley-style wine is excellentWinemaker Notes The Directors Cabernet Sauvignon greets you with aromas of toffee, espresso, and blackberry. Melted tannins and a lush, velvety midpalate reveal flavors of blackberry, cherry, cassis, and wild berry, with a hint of toasted nuts and almonds on the long, impressive finish. This robust wine pairs well with prime rib, New York strip and filet mignon.
