2023 Francis Ford Coppola Diamond Collection Claret

Dos July – 2026

There is nothing like a medium rare fillet and good bottle of red wine to make your Saturday night dinner a feast and a party all in one. The Coppola Claret is not a Cab, but it is 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, and that’s enough for me to say, “There’s nothing like a Slab and a Cab!”. We have been to this Rodeo before!

The nose is inviting with a burst of Cherries and Berries to call the senses to attention! The flavors feature Cherry, Plum, and a hint of blueberry, which lead to a mellow, lingering finish. The alcohol content is 14.5% and Norm’s score is 91.

For a rare treat, pair this one up with a thick slice of rare Prime Rib.

score: 91

price : $16 – $21

Now, that’s just the way I see it, and you can tell them I said so!

Here’s looking at you Kid!
