One thing can be said for the Coppola wines they keep trying new things. With the diamond series they are producing lots of wines from California.
Sauvignon Blanc 2008 tropical fruit , banana especially...not the citrusy new zealand style.. nice acidity so it doesnt become too cloying
Pinot Grigio 2007 light, clean, a bit of melon and quick finish.
Petite Sirah 2007 purple color, tobacco, bacon fat, iodine, long finish.
Alicante Bouschet 2007 all Lodi fruit, dark color in the glass but the fruit is a little more restrained, reminescent of grenache, a little green in flavor either from over producing or not enough sun.. not a deal breaker but was hoping for a little more flavor.
Malbec 2006 full bodied color, a minty California version of a wine that maybe doesnt do well in california.
