The Francis Coppola Diamond Collection began in 1997 as an ambitious endeavor to make wines of character and complexity at an affordable price. Sourced from California vineyards that not only have proven track records but are also managed according to our rigorous standards, Diamond Collection wines are classic California expressions that offer fruit-forward, multi-dimensional flavor and immediate drinkability.
Winemaker's Notes:
In 2010, we harvested weeks later than normal due to the chilly spring and mildsummer months. It wasn’t until later in the season that the temperatures warmed up, which resulted in extended hangtime for the fruit and a beautiful concentration of flavors. This year, enjoy a vivacious Chardonnay that boasts a silky texture andharmonious blend of succulent fruit, spices and toasted oak.
