Winemaker Notes
ONEHOPE was founded by eight friends with a lofty vision: to create exceptional products that inspire people to indulge while doing good. The commitment to quality wine is as important as the commitment to the causes they support. Based in Rutherford, Napa Valley the flagship property, Estate 8, rests between 10 acres of planted Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc. The wines express the unique terroir of Napa Valley and California, each bottle layered and complex and made for you to enjoy any night of the week.
To date, they have donated over $5 million to our partner organizations, a few highlights include: planting 105,172 trees, helping 65,267 pets find forever homes, and providing 2,758,428 meals to children. Doing good tastes great!
Internationally recognized for gorgeous, pure fruit combined with great elegance, California Pinot noir thrives among the state’s cooler, coastal zones. Characterized by eclectic flavors and aromas of strawberry, black cherry, plum and potpourri with notes of forest floor, mushroom or black tea, the best California Pinot noir boast a supple texture and good acidity, giving them the ability to improve with age.
Credited with the beginning of Pinot noir’s glory in California, two growers, Joe Rochioli and Joseph Swan in the late 1960s independently planted Pinot noir vineyards in the Russian River Valley of Sonoma County. Today Sonoma County remains the leading producer of Pinot noir in the state, and Pinot noir is the leading red grape in the county, achieving its highest potential, in the Russian River Valley and Sonoma Coast.
Other coastal appellations where Pinot noir flourishes include Carneros, Anderson Valley and most of the Central Coast.
