Item Description

"Winemaking and filmmaking are two great art forms that are very important in the development of California. They both start with raw ingredients—in the case of wine, the land and the grapes, and in the case of film, the script and the actors’ performances. The winemaker takes these raw materials and ferments and blends. He says yes to one batch, no to another. The director does the same thing: a series of yeses and nos, from casting and costuming to edits and sound mixes. In both cases you have to start with top notch raw materials—whether it’s the land or a script.” Francis Ford Coppola

Classic Bordeaux wines often blended to yield increased complexity and balance in the wine. This year’s Director’s Cut Cab does include a small portion of Petit Verdot in the blend. Immensely concentrated with supple and ripened tannins, this wine showcases a sophisticated bouquet of boysenberries, spiced oak and incense, plus dark, rich flavors of plums, cherries and currants along with sweet notes of cocoa and crème de menthe. Director’s Cut Cabernet will drink well now, but it also has ample structure and dimension to gain complexity in the years to come.
