Francis Ford Coppola Director's Merlot

Dark and expressive, the 2017 Director’s Merlot delivers impeccable balance, outstanding complexity, and a lush texture that exemplifies the excellence of this vintage. Scents of warm plum, gingerbread, vanilla bean, and seasoned wood extend onto the palate and mingle with succulent flavors of cherry, cassis, and cocoa. This is a very polished wine with a long, fragrant finish. Medium tannins support the body of this wine, offering sophistication in its finish. Pairs nicely with brisket, grilled pork chops and linguine with pesto.
