2008 Alexander Valley Touriga

The Francis Coppola Reserve Dessert Wine from the renowned Alexander Valley is a delightful expression of the Touriga varietal.

With prominent fruit intensity, it showcases luscious notes of dark berry and plum, complemented by hints of spice and chocolate. The tannins are smooth and integrated, lending a velvety texture that enhances its dessert-like quality. This wine is crafted to be elegantly sweet yet maintains a refreshing dryness, making it an inviting choice for those seeking a decadent finish to any meal.

Region:

Alexander Valley

One of the warmest AVAs in Sonoma County, Alexander Valley stretches from the banks of the Russian River into the foothills of the Mayacamas mountain range. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are the main grapes here, creating voluptuously full-bodied wines with distinct notes of cassis, roast plum and even chocolate. They are more fruit forward than the earthy reds of Napa. For white wines, Alexander Valley offers big and bold Chardonnay. These are often aged with oak for a buttery vanilla flavor, and those grown nearest the Russian River have a noticeable minerality. Other grapes that thrive in the valley's balmy climate are Sauvignon Blanc and Zinfandel.
