Francis Ford Coppola Diamond Series Black Label Claret 2016

This is the prize offering of the Francis Coppola Diamond Collection, an ultra premium Claret, sporting a label that honors the first Cabernet Sauvignon blended in a Bordeaux style by Gustave Niebaum in 1910. Claret is a term originally coined by the British to describe Cabernet-based wines from the Bordeaux region in France. The 2016 Claret is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc. Alluring and sophisticated in style, it is smooth and lush with a tapestry of succulent flavors such as wild berries, plum and anise. Borrowing tradition of European wineries, the winery adds gold netting to the bottle to signify outstanding quality of wine.
