Diamond Pinot Noir 2009
Francis Ford Coppola Winery, Central Coast, CA
Price: $19.99
2009 was a great vintage for all California appellations and an excellent vintage for Pinot Noir. Light spring rains were followed by warm summer days and no abrupt climate changes at season's end. As a result of these fortuitous conditions, we harvested very high quality fruit with true physiological ripeness and great concentration.
Our 2009 Diamond Collection Pinot Noir offers a rich, velvety texture, profuse aromatics, and a beautiful tapestry of juicy fruits and spice nuances. This wine is delicious when paired with a sautéed mushroom topped salmon steak, herb-rubbed pork chops, or creamy risotto.
