Notes - Francis Coppola Diamond Collection Silver Label Pinot Noir 2006, is made entirely from fruit grown in Monterey—a region referred to by winemakers as Napa without the heat. The Diamond Collection Pinot Noir has exceptionally dark colour, which is not typical of the varietal. It exhibits explosive aromatics and impressive concentration with hints of strawberry, dried cranberry and spice tones, due in large part to the well-draining soils of our Monterey vineyards. Tannins are supple and the finish on this wine is extremely lengthy. "People are saying that 2006 could be the best Pinot Noir vintage in ten years, and I would have to agree." - Corey Beck, Winemaker
