✨ Technical Specifications
The Cooper's Hawk Lux Cabernet Sauvignon represents the winery's dedication to crafting a premium, cellar-worthy expression of California's signature red grape. Sourced from prestigious vineyards across California's top winegrowing regions, the Lux series is designed to showcase elevated complexity, structure, and depth. The winemaking team carefully selects the finest grapes, which undergo extended aging in premium French oak barrels. This process imparts classic notes of dark fruit, cassis, and vanilla, balanced by firm tannins and a refined, lingering finish. It stands as a testament to Cooper's Hawk's innovative sourcing model, bringing the best of California's terroir to a sophisticated, contemporary audience.
🍾 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.
