A Filmmaker's Diamond from Monterey
The Diamond Collection debuted with the 2006 vintage — the first wines made at Francis Ford Coppola's Sonoma property — and it has been the winery's crowd-pleaser ever since: grapes sourced from across California, shaped into wines meant to be opened, not cellared. This Pinot Noir draws on cool-climate Monterey County fruit, where ocean influence keeps acidity bright and flavors delicate. It sits comfortably among California pinot noirs at twice the price, pairs with everything the red wine shelf promises, and the rest of the Diamond Collection — including the Pinot Grigio and Cabernet below — is built on the same drink-now philosophy.
Tasting Notes
Official winery notes: scents of strawberry, ripe cranberries, a touch of cedar wood and fig; flavors of small red fruits, plums, and spice over a supple entrance, balanced acidity, and a round, velvety midpalate. Recent vintages add mocha and raspberry jam to the profile, finishing harmonious and lingering.
How to Enjoy
Serve at 15–18 °C — cool, not cold. The winery's pairings: roasted duck, grilled salmon, mushroom risotto, or a wedge of brie. It is the red that converts white-wine drinkers.
