From our Rosso & Bianco winery... "A top flight wine, superior in taste and character and providing an outstanding price/value relationship." Cheers "It's as rich as blackberry pie, juicy and fat yet nicely dry." Wine Enthusiast Claret was one of five in the "Search for standouts in a sea of similarity."

- Lots of dark fruit with nice tannins. Very well balanced with a big nose and long finish. Really opens up after an hour in the decanter.

- One of my favorite sipping wines. Not to heavy on any single flavor but just enough punch to let you know it is there. Light enough on the tannin to avoid the headache, if you have that tendancy but still rich.
- June 2008
- A really great wine with outstanding value. Beautiful nose, cherry, chocolate with a hint of tobacco. Consistent

- Francis Coppola Diamond Collection Black Label Claret, as its British-derivedname implies, is Cabernet Sauvignon-based and made in the same style asBordeaux's finest wines. A blend of the classic Bordeaux varietals - CabernetSauvignon, Petit Verdot, Merlot, Malbec, and Cabernet Franc - Francis Coppola 2005 Claretis supple and rich with smooth tannins, ripe berry flavors, and seductive aromas. Tradition is a great guide for pairing it with food: savor it alongside grilled lambchops with a mustard-herb rub or beef tenderloin with a pan sauce made withred wine.
