Francis Ford Coppola Director's Cut Chardonnay 2021 Review
For the price you can’t go wrong here. The nose is punchy with tart fruit and calm notes of vanilla from the oak. The mouthfeel has some weight to it, but good natural acidity comes through and brightens the wine up without sacrificing body. What sells this wine is the nice sense of creaminess. It’s a wine that will pair with a weeknight meal or even a full spread at a picnic.
