Francis Ford Coppola DIRECTOR'S CUT Alexander Valley, Sonoma County CABARNET SAUVIGNON This graphic band is a replica of a 19th century original used in a so called a Zoetrope (zoe life, trope movement), which produced the illusion of a 'moving picture' from static ones. This signature Sonoma wine - Director's Cut - pays hommage to the history of film-making and to the uncompromising standards necessary to make great films and great wine.

Description (by producer & GT in English only) :
Decadent and complex, our Director's Cut Cabernet is fragrant with exotic notes of clove and toasted oak. Aged primarily in French oak barrels, this wine will develop further for several more years. FILMMAKING AND WINEMAKING INTERSECT IN SONOMA In the film business, the “Director’s Cut” emerged as a means for filmmakers to present their own creative vision of a story. At the Francis Ford Coppola Winery, Director’s Cut wines were created as a way for wine “director” Corey Beck to craft wines that would reflect his own unique interpretation of the quintessential Sonoma wine. Corey’s vision for Director’s Cut embraces appellation-specific sourcing, meticulous fruit selection, and numerous blending trials so that our wines capture the distinct nuances of Sonoma’s microclimates in a highly refined style, well-suited to fine cuisine and premium wine lists. ALEXANDER VALLEY This appellation experiences two distinct climates due to the long, narrow shape of the region. The southern part of the valley is the first area to receive fog from the coast and is therefore cooler than the north, which does not experience these marine influences and cooler ambient temperatures until evening. Throughout the season the temperature gradient continues with onshore and offshore flows occurring to create warm days and cool nights. The other characteristic that makes Alexander Valley special is its soil diversity. Red volcanic soils with high shale content dominate the eastern hillsides; alluvial gravel fans can be found on the valley floor and there are steep slopes of rocky clay loam in the western region. We source our Cabernet Sauvignon from several diverse sites throughout Alexander Valley to create a more complex wine.
