Mmmmmmm…..My favorite of the Coppola Diamond Collection, this Claret is smooth, perfectly blended, has a balanced and deep taste, and is consistent all the way through. Like pretty much all Coppola wines, it does not require breathing time and can probably sit around a good few years in the cellar if you like too.
The Claret is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. It has California goodness all throughout. I recommend it as a house wine because it is so likable and drinkable on a regular basis, but at nearly $20 a bottle that might not classify as a house wine for the bourgeois class like me.
Anyway, check out the sites below for detailed descriptions of this wine. If you like California reds, this one is a sure winner. I try to keep at least one or two in stock at all times.
