Brand: Francis Ford Coppola Winery
Collection: Diamond Collection
Wine: Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: California
Style: Rich, approachable California Cabernet Sauvignon
Description:
A lush, food-friendly California Cabernet Sauvignon with cherry, black currant and cranberry, layered with aromas of cocoa and mocha and flavors of vanilla and warm spice. Portions are aged in French and American oak, adding richness while supple tannins keep the wine smooth and approachable. Coppola specifically describes the Diamond Cabernet as having enough complexity and dimension for Cabernet lovers while remaining immediately drinkable.
Rating: Ratings vary by vintage. The 2021 received 92 Points and a Best Buy designation from Wine Enthusiast; the winery lists the 2022 at 91 Points from Wine Enthusiast.
Pairing Recommendation:
Excellent with Prime Ribeye, filet mignon, NY Strip, grilled chicken, mushroom dishes or aged cheeses. For Midtown Provisions, I’d pair this one with a Prime Filet Mignon—the wine’s supple tannins, dark fruit and vanilla-oak character complement filet without overpowering it.
Serve: Around 60–65°F. Give it about 20–30 minutes to breathe before serving.
