La Coppa

La Coppa Wine Details
Price: $15.00 per bottle

Description: La Coppa, meaning “the cup” is a field blend. It’s a nice overview of our estate, with many of the varietals we have planted going into this mix. The primary grape varietals consist mainly of 40% Syrah, 35% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon with a mere 5% of Grenache. Since we don’t work with Cabernet Sauvignon (because climatically only 1 of every 10 vintages makes a good wine on its own) we’re able to use this fruit as a blending agent to make a nice red table wine. This wine is a bit more extracted than our other blends but creates a wine that is intense, and drinkable immediately upon release. La Coppa is aged in 3 year old neutral French oak barrels for 11 months. The acid in this wine lends for a clean finish on the pallet.
