Francis Coppola Director's Merlot, Sonoma County, 2012

Be it film or wine, directing is about the creative choices that capture an artistic vision. In honor of Francis Coppola's filmmaking heritage, we bring you Director's Merlot. Lush and layered with supple tannins, our Merlot boasts flavors of plums, berries and dark chocolate, a hint of sage, and spicy oak. Delicious with roasted meats, sausage pizza or pumpkin ravioli. www.franciscoppolawinery.com. Alc/Vol 13.5%.
