Director’s Cut Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 Francis Ford Coppola Winery
The Director’s Cut Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 from Francis Ford Coppola Winery is an expressive and well-balanced red wine that reflects the artistic vision of both filmmaker and winemaker.
Named after the final version of a film that most truly represents a director’s creative intent, the Director’s Cut collection captures the authentic character of Sonoma’s finest appellations through meticulous fruit selection and masterful blending.
Sourced from select vineyards across the Alexander Valley AVA, this Cabernet Sauvignon benefits from a diverse range of soils — volcanic on the eastern slopes, rocky clay loam to the west, and alluvial gravel on the valley floor. The region’s climate, marked by warm days and cool nights, allows for optimal ripening and the development of complex aromas and refined tannins.
In the glass, it shows a deep ruby-red color. Aromas of juicy black cherry, cinnamon, marzipan, and vanilla rise from the glass, complemented by subtle hints of dark chocolate and oak spice. On the palate, it’s rich, smooth, and layered, with velvety tannins and a lingering finish of ripe fruit and sweet spice.
This vintage reflects the essence of Sonoma winemaking excellence, combining intensity, elegance, and balance. Ideal with grilled meats, roasted lamb, game, or aged cheeses, the Director’s Cut Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 is a cinematic expression of passion and craftsmanship in every sip.
