Francis Coppola Ivory Label Cabernet Sauvignon 2007
Wine Maker notes: For our Ivory Label Cabernet Sauvignon, we combine fruit from appellations as far north as El Dorado and as far south as Paso Robles where some of our vineyards experience diurnal temperature extremes, which slows the ripening process and enhances the rich, succulent flavors of the fruit, as well as the complexity of the palate.
Appellation California
Blend 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Alcohol 13.5%
Barrel Regimen 12 months French oak
Suggested Retail $18.00
After decanting for 2.5 hours...The nose had tons of fruit and vanilla. Color was ruby red. Taste wise, a little thin but Sweeeeet and smooth going down. Slight oak with tons of cherry and red berries. OK structure. I wish the finish was longer though. Paired with bolognese spaghetti.
