There are few better portfolios that exemplify the craft of domestic winemaking than Copper Cane.

Copper Cane is a branch off of the Caymus family tree. Joe Wagner son of Charles Wagner, founder of Caymus, decided he needed to branch out and try something different. Joe felt like he needed to step away from Caymus’ shadow. Enter, Meiomi. Although Meiomi is no longer owned by Joe, it was the catalyst for Copper Cane.

Copper Cane is a portrayal of the broad range of winemaking that Joe is capable of. It is also a look at the range of wines that grace the vineyards of the United States. These wines take an in-depth look at some of the best sources for varietals like Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chardonnay and wrap them up in nice packaging. Sofie Daniels has graciously donated some of her time to stop by to teach us a little about the Copper Cane portfolio and its wines. This is a great opportunity to not only learn about the different domestic wine regions but also a look into what may just be the future of winemaking in California as the next generation of winemakers like Joe begins to put their stamp on things.

Below are the wines we will be showcasing:
