Francis Ford Coppola Director’s Cut Zinfandel
Red wine | Dry Creek Valley
A creative vision of a star California grape variety!
The blackberry and raspberry aromas of this red wine are supported by hints of clove, pepper and mocha. Ample and velvety, deep and complex, it clearly shows the potential of Zinfandel, which is none other than Primitivo, but with a new personality in California. This is even more the case in this wine with its unique style and obvious name: the "Director's Cut" is in fact a way for directors to present their creative vision in the world of cinema!
