Francis Coppola Diamond Pinot Noir
Varietal: Pinot Noir
Bottle Size: 750 mL

Light Red Wines
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 Francis Coppola's 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 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.”
