Appellation series Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir

Santa Barbara County is considered one of the most exciting Pinot Noir regions in California – the valleys open towards the Pacific Ocean, which ensures cool nights and a long ripening period for the grapes.

Francis Ford Coppola Winery, located in Geyserville, Sonoma County, produces wines under the Appellation Series that emphasize the character of their respective terroirs. This Pinot Noir comes entirely from Santa Barbara County and follows the clear goal of letting terroir speak for itself, rather than technique.

In the glass, it displays aromas of ripe cherry and blackberry, underpinned by a delicate herbal spiciness – typical of cooler locations in this region. The mouthfeel is soft, with silky tannins and a pleasant freshness on the finish.

The Winery

Francis Ford Coppola Winery

The world-famous director bought the magnificent Niebaum Cottage in Rutherford (Napa Valley) as early as 1979, which was actually intended as a weekend residence. After its renovation, the opportunity for winegrowing was also utilized, which also quickly bore fruit.

Thus, the two product lines, Rosso & Blanco and Diamond Collection, which are still current today, were created. The Rosso & Blanco line in particular represents an homage to his Italian roots. In 1998, Corey Beck joined the winery, who has now advanced to director and was appointed president of the Francis Ford Coppola Winery in 2014.
