Archimedes 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon, Alexander Valley, Francis Ford Coppola

Francis Ford Coppola's flagship Sonoma Cab, Archimedes is crafted from small lots of Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from prime Alexander Valley vineyards and produced in very limited quantity for the true connoisseur. Archimedes matures in barrels for 18 months in order to achieve a high degree of tannin development, flavor integration, and textural refinement.

This 2015 is 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot and 5% Malbec aged 20 months in in 75% new French oak barrels.


The Wine Advocate scored this 93 points saying "Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Archimedes features an earth and garrigue-laced nose over a core of warm cassis, baked plums and mulberries plus wafts of dried herbs and cigar box. Medium to full-bodied, the palate gives a good amount of earthy black fruit with an approachable, chewy frame and great freshness, finishing savory."
