WINE REGION:
California
California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.

ABOUT THE BRAND:
Valley Oak Cooperage
The winemaker and cooper share a connection through craftsmanship. Both professions strive to stay true to the nature of their materials while pursuing a result that reflects the expertise and nuance of their craft. That moment when a wine first enters an oak barrel, these two worlds unite. The cooper’s skilled artistry and varying use of toast, along with age and type of oak, directly impact the wine’s flavor profile and structure. It is up to the winemaker to match each wine to the vessel best suited to achieve the desired result. Through the adept teamwork of these two artisans, the vibrant and complex wines of Valley Oak Cooperage are born. Valley Oak Cooperage was founded by winemakers with a singular passion for the grape, the winery has dedicated itself to perfecting the art of making fantastic Merlots. And if you bring up ‘Sideways’, with its famous scene attacking Merlot, practically every employee rolls their eyes and says the same seven words, “Hate the wine, don’t hate the grape.”
