Francis Ford Coppola DIRECTORSCUT Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley California
Description: When Francis Coppola chose Sonoma County as the home for his new winery, he did so because of the area's beauty and winemaking potential. By selecting Sonoma, Francis provided the winemaker Corey Beck, a Sonoma native, with the opportunity to make wines with grapes grown in his proverbial own backyard. Director's Cutwines are the result-appellation-designated wines from Sonoma'sdiverse and distinctive appellations. A 100% Cabernet Sauvignon that would create a real terroir wine with pure varietal flavour. As a result this Cabernet delivers enticing aromas of cola, cherry, and eucalyptus before revealing dark, rich berries, cassis and black cherries, which is typical of fruit grown in the illustrious Alexander Valley. Well seasoned for 24 months in new and used French oak, the tannins have a delightfully velvet-like texture, partly because of the barrel ageing but also from the incredible ripeness achieved this vintage. Together, they make this wine a smooth, decadent experience even when young. 'Winemaking and filmmaking are two great art forms that are very important in the development of California. They both start with raw ingredients-in the case of wine, the land and the grapes, and in the case of film, the script and the actors' performances. The winemaker takes these raw materials and ferments and blends. He says yes to this batch, no to that one. The director does the same thing: a series of yeses and nos, from casting and costuming to edits and sound mixes. In both cases you have to start with top notch raw materials-whether it's the land or a script.' -Francis Ford Coppola (6 x 75 cl) Price: £111.05

Francis Ford Coppola DIRECTORSCUT Zinfandel Dry Creek California
Description: When Francis Coppola chose Sonoma County as the home for his new winery, he did so because of the area's beauty and winemaking potential. By selecting Sonoma, Francis provided the winemaker Corey Beck, a Sonoma native, with the opportunity to make wines with grapes grown in his proverbial own backyard. Director's Cutwines are the result-appellation-designated wines from Sonoma'sdiverse and distinctive appellations. Growing Zinfandel in the Dry Creek Valley straddles two worlds. One consists of the traditional farmer who dry-farms head-trained, spur-pruned vines. Balance is attained by virtue of the vines' old age as well as early canopy management and fruit thinning when needed. The other employs more modern methods, including bilateral cordon, spur-pruned on-wire trellising, drip irrigation, and carefully manicured canopies. Francis Forrd Coppola source our Zinfandel grapes from vineyards on the benchlands and hillsides which are farmed both ways. The combination of the area's climate, our vineyard sites, and the two types of farming methods used produces excellent fruit with intensely concentrated flavour. This Zinfandel was blended with a small amount of Petite Sirah for 12 months in French oak. Half the fruit was crushed whole berry and the must is fermented in open-top fermenters for eight days, with punch downs three times a day, to ensure maximum flavor and color extraction. After fermentation, the wine was aged in French oak adding a wonderful toasted spice and French vanilla essence to its heady aroma of rum raisin with hints of black currant and red cherry. Sweet raspberry jam with currant and red spice flavors are wrapped up in a soft and luxurious texture with moderate tannins.

Once harvested the crushed grapes immediately and cold soaked the must for threedays to stabilize the colour. It was then fermented in open-top fermenters for nine days, with punch downs three times a day. The result is a silky, yet plush wine with crushed cranberry and allspice aromas hinting at clove and nutmeg. Barrel aged for 12 months in French oak, this is a great reflection of the Pinot Noir grape, it has beautiful flavours of cranberry, cherry, dried strawberry, and sweet moderate tannins.

Francis Ford Coppola DIRECTORSCUT Chardonnay Russian River California
Description: When Francis Coppola chose Sonoma County as the home for his new winery, he did so because of the area's beauty and winemaking potential. By selecting Sonoma, Francis provided the winemaker Corey Beck, a Sonoma native, with the opportunity to make wines with grapes grown in his proverbial own backyard. Director's Cutwines are the result-appellation-designated wines from Sonoma'sdiverse and distinctive appellations. The Russian River Valley climate is sculpted by a regular intrusion of cooling fog from the Pacific Ocean a few miles to the west. Much like the tide, the fog ebbs and flows, arriving in the evening, cooling the area down from its daytime high by as much as 35 to 40 degrees, and retreating the following morning. This natural air conditioning allows Chardonnay grapes to develop full flavour maturity over an extended growing season. The Chardonnay fruit are crushed whole-cluster and then fermented entirely in French oak barrels to achieve a seductive, round texture with quintessential Russian River Valley flavours of green apple, honeysuckle, and sweet vanilla with citrus notes. Its sweet perfume previews its palate with hints of honeysuckle, crisp apple, and orange blossoms.
