Winemakers Notes
From our Rosso & Bianco winery... "A top flight wine, superior in taste and character and providing an outstanding price/value relationship."

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.
