Francis Ford Coppola 2007 Archimedes Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma County)

Price $52

As fine a Cabernet as Coppola has ever produced (exclusive, of course, of Rubicon), this one’s as deep and fancy as almost anything from Napa Valley. Strikes you immediately with a wealth of sweet, oak-infused blackberry, cherry and red currant flavors. The tannins are immaculate. This dramatic Cab will develop for the remainder of the decade. — S.H. (12/31/2011)

Francis Ford Coppola 2009 Archimedes Cabernet Sauvignon (Alexander Valley)

Price $52

This flashy Cabernet is one of Coppola’s best Sonoma County Cabernets ever, a fine followup to the great 2007. It immediately impresses with richness, smoothness of texture and complexity, offering waves of ripe summer blackberry, blueberry and smoke. The tannins are firm, dusty and soft, making the wine drinkable now and over the next six years with steak. — S.H. (12/31/2012)

Francis Ford Coppola 2009 Director’s Cut Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)

Editors' Choice

Price $24

Just one word for this Zin: delicious. It’s really classic Dry Creek, maybe a little softer than many, but profoundly ripe in wild berry, cherry, cola, licorice, black pepper and sandalwood flavors that finish long and deep. Great price for a Zinfandel this good. — S.H. (12/31/2011)

Francis Ford Coppola 2008 Director’s Cut Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)

Editors' Choice
Online Exclusive

Price $20

A very interesting Chardonnay, and easily worth the price. It was fermented in 50% new French oak, which gives it a creamy, smoky richness, while the underlying fruit flavors are ripe and rewarding, suggesting pineapples, Asian pears, green apples and Meyer lemons. A beautiful, complex and balanced wine. — S.H. (8/1/2010)

Francis Ford Coppola 2000 Francis Coppola Diamond Series Black Label Claret Cabernet Sauvignon

Price $17

This is young Cabernet, dark purple in color, with the aroma dominated by the smoke and vanilla of fine oak. It’s as rich as blackberry pie, juicy and fat, yet nicely dry. Balanced, with fine tannins, this is a nice glass of red wine. — S.H. (11/15/2002)

points

Francis Ford Coppola 2009 Votre Sante Chardonnay

Best Buy

Price $14

This statewide blend stands up well against far more expensive Chardonnays. It’s rich and crisp in acidity, with tropical fruit, pear and peach flavors, as well as a generous coating of oak and buttercream. Easy to find, with nearly 11,000 cases produced. — S.H. (8/1/2011)

points

Francis Ford Coppola 2007 Director’s Cut Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)

Editors' Choice

Price $19

Very rich in pineapple, peach, pear, green apple, crème brûlée and smoky flavors, but balanced with crisp acidity and a certain minerality that makes the mouthfeel vibrant. This is a good price for a Chardonnay of this opulence. — S.H. (12/15/2009)

points

Francis Ford Coppola 2011 Director’s Cut Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)

Price $21

Made in the popular style, with rich, ripe tropical and citrus fruit flavors, and buttered toast from oak barrels. The acidity is fine, helping the wine finish clean and dry. Drink up. — S.H. (6/1/2013)
