Francis Coppola Archimedes 2019/2021

Francis Ford Coppola Winery Archimedes is the prestigious flagship red wine of the estate, crafted as a tribute to Francis Ford Coppola's uncle and his namesake, the legendary Greek mathematician. Sourced from high-elevation vineyards in the Alexander Valley, including the rugged Pine Mountain-Cloverdale Peak, this luxurious, limited-production Cabernet Sauvignon is characterized by its remarkable depth and concentration. It presents a dark, dramatic color with robust aromas of blackberry, black currant, toffee, and caramel, layered with subtle notes of clove and charred oak. On the palate, it delivers a rich, smooth texture supported by firm, velvety tannins. Complex flavors of plum, dark chocolate, white pepper, tobacco, and star anise unfold seamlessly, leading to a long, polished, and structured finish.

Food Pairing: An outstanding companion for rich, hearty dishes such as prime rib, a classic bone-in ribeye steak, braised beef short ribs, roasted lamb, or mature, aged hard cheeses.
