Francis Ford Coppola 2007 Archimedes Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma County)
- $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.

Francis Ford Coppola 2009 Director's Cut Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $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.

Francis Ford Coppola 2008 Director's Cut Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $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.

Francis Ford Coppola 2009 Votre Sante Chardonnay (California)
- Best Buy
- $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.

Francis Ford Coppola 2000 Francis Coppola Diamond Series Black Label Claret Cabernet Sauvignon (California)
- $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.

Francis Ford Coppola 2001 Presents Rosso Red (California)
- Best Buy
- $9
Leave it to director Coppola to manage an ensemble cast of Zinfandel, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah and Sangiovese and come out with a smashing success. Forward fruit flavors mesh with earthier notes of herbs and tobacco wrapped in a silky texture; the finish is complex and long. Serve it with chops or even a simple pasta with cheese.

Francis Ford Coppola 2007 Director's Cut Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $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.

Francis Ford Coppola 2009 Director’s Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma County)
- $21
Made from 100% Cabernet, this is a fine everyday wine. It’s dry, full-bodied and satisfying in blackberry, cola and currant flavors, with a nice kiss of oak. The alcohol level is nice and low. Ready to drink now.
