Francis Coppola 2014 Black Label Claret Diamond Collection Cabernet Sauvignon (California)

Country: US / Black Label Claret Diamond Collection
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Francis Coppola / California

This is a big, beefy wine that smells smoky and black-cherry-like and tastes full, bold and firmly tannic. It layers smoky, meaty notes over cranberry and tart cherry flavors, with hints of dark chocolate and cardamom. It is well balanced, muscular in mouthfeel and should improve with time through 2020 at least.
