Red wine
Francis Ford Coppola Winery, Archimedes Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
Expressive nose with dark fruits leaping from the glass. The concentrated palate shows juicy blackberry and blackcurrant fruit that is balanced by hints of menthol, graphite and lovely minerality. Well balanced, excellent wine.
