✨ Technical Specifications
Cooper's Hawk Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the brand's innovative approach to winemaking, sourcing premium grapes directly from prestigious California vineyards to craft a classic, expressive West Coast Cabernet. By transporting these carefully selected grapes to their central winemaking facility, the winemaking team preserves the vibrant fruit character and structured tannins typical of California's sun-drenched terroir. This wine is celebrated for its approachable yet sophisticated profile, offering rich aromas of blackberry, cassis, and subtle toasted oak from careful barrel aging. It represents a bridge between traditional West Coast viticulture and a modern, welcoming tasting room experience.
🍾 About the Producer
Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurants was established in 2005 by entrepreneur Tim McEnery in Orland Park, Illinois, combining an upscale casual dining concept with an artisanal winery and tasting room. Rather than farming single-estate vineyards, the operation functions as a large-scale modern négociant and custom-crush producer, sourcing premium grapes and must primarily from leading American viticultural areas across California, Washington, and Oregon, as well as select international origins. Centralized vinification, blending, and barrel maturation take place at its dedicated Midwestern production facility under Vice President of Winemaking Rob Warren. The portfolio embraces an approachable, crowd-pleasing cellar philosophy focused on clean varietal expression, balanced oak integration, and food-friendly structures. Among its hallmark bottlings are California-sourced expressions such as Unoaked Chardonnay, Lux Chardonnay, Viognier, and the crisp, aromatic Riesling Gewürztraminer blend, alongside a diverse suite of methode-charmat sparkling and dessert offerings.
