Francis Ford Coppola Winery releases its 2017 Apocalypse Now® Final Cut Cabernet Sauvignon from the respected Alexander Valley American Viticultural Area (AVA) in Northern California. This new wine builds on the success of Francis Ford Coppola's 1979 film restored and rereleased this year as Apocalypse Now: Final Cut.

"A sequence in the film shows people enjoying wine during an extravagant dinner and for me, offering this Apocalypse Now wine helps highlight who Francis is as a filmmaker," says Corey Beck, CEO and Chief Winemaker of The Family Coppola. "Many wonderful moments in his films center around family gathering for a meal together, and we welcome people into our family each time they enjoy our wine or visit our winery."

The Francis Ford Coppola Winery showcases part of the six-time Academy Award winning director and screenwriter's personal film collection including various props and keepsakes from the Vietnam war epic. This rare group includes the bamboo cage where Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando) imprisons Captain Willard (Martin Sheen), surfboards, totem poles, authentic pottery and beads crafted by locals of the little fishing town of Baler in the northern Philippines, costumes from some of the main characters, and Tyrone "Clean" Miller's hat (Laurence Fishburne). The army bag and dossier that Captain Willard carries is also on display including the map, and other documents that are all authentic film props.

In filmmaking, final cut privilege is reserved for the director to determine the final version of the film released to the public. In honor of the 40thanniversary and its final cut release, the Apocalypse Now Final Cut Cabernet Sauvignon is a striking and memorable wine made from excellent quality fruit.

The Apocalypse Now Final Cut Cabernet Sauvignon brings aromas of raspberry jam, baked blueberries, violets, and smoky spice notes of clove and tobacco. The opulent full-bodied palate presents juicy flavors of crushed cherries, berries, and cocoa. It features a long, decadent finish with touches of caramel and toasted wood, and an overall excellent structure with tannins capable of aging for several more years.

The Apocalypse Now Final Cut Cabernet Sauvignon and Apocalypse Now Red Blend 750ml bottles may be purchased at the Francis Ford Coppola Winery tasting room and online.
