Francis Coppola Diamond Series Merlot

 

The Diamond Series Merlot is made to be generous and opulent, as one would expect from this variety. As with all of the Diamond Series wines, this wine has concentrated varietal character with wonderful flavor and texture. Though predominantly Merlot, a small amount of Syrah has been added to increase its personality and to lift the aromatics. The resulting blend is extremely inviting with great richness and interest, demonstrating why the Merlot varietal has become so popular and appreciated.

 

Winemaker's Notes: The aromatics of this Merlot are right where we want them: forward and engaging. There are great aromas of blueberries, cherries and red licorice that are typical of the variety. The palate is pure, dense red fruits, raspberries and blueberries,as well as stylish flavors of spice and toasty French oak. The wine has a very soft, elegant structure with supple tannins that support the lengthy finish.

Barrel aging: 12 months French Oak
