About the Winery
Francis Ford Coppola is a famous American director, producer and screenwriter. When Francis was living in San Francisco, he began to look for a weekend retreat in the Napa Valley. In 1975 he purchased the Niebaum Mansion in Rutherford, CA. In 1977, he and his father produced their first vintage of Neibaum-Coppola wine. Coppola would continue his expansion when he purchased two of Inglenook’s original parcels, and the grand chateau. He would name the winery Rubicon Estate in 2006, but would later rename it Inglenook after buying the name. The Francis Ford Coppola Winery continues to produce wine and is well-known throughout the world.

Tobin’s Review 3 out of 5
Francis Coppola’s 2008 Malbec has a rich color. I can smell the currant and smoke, and can taste the plum. It’s smooth, and good.

Jeanine’s Review 3.5 out of 5
Francis Coppola’s 2008 Malbec is really good. I thought it was smoky at first but them it became really yummy. It’s smooth, good and full-bodied. I can really pick out the currants and spice.
