More soul and guts than the Director's Cabernet bottling.

Sweet, jammy black fruit, good acidity and well-integrated oak. 2012 vintage.

2009 Francis Ford Coppola Director's Cut Cinema Red. Deep ruby wine with dark fruit on the nose, primarily blackberries and cassis. Very ripe baked blackberry and cassis jam on the palate, medium+ tannin, medium- acid. Decent without being exciting. Overpriced.

Nice mixture of fruit and spices. Easy drinking California blend, perfumed and some sweetness but not overdone, limited complexity. This is wine to be enjoyed on its own, doesn’t need food, perhaps just some salty snacks and you’re off and running.
