About Joseph Wagner:
A fifth-generation Napa Valley winemaker, Joseph Wagner has been immersed in every aspect of the wine industry his entire life. Learning the ropes from his father Chuck, who co-founded Caymus Vineyards with his parents in 1972, Joseph garnered a love for cultivating the land, tending grapevines, the art of winemaking, the strengths of a good work ethic and leading by example. Planting his first Pinot Noir vineyard at age fifteen sparked a love for the then lesser-known variety. After working in the Sonoran Desert of Northern Mexico farming table grapes, Joseph returned to California where he joined the family business working under his father in vineyards and the winery. In 2006, Joseph began crafting Meiomi, an industry-shaking Pinot Noir with bold and robust flavors uncommon in Pinot Noirs at the time. The brand gained so much recognition that it soon became the focal point of the largest non-asset wine sale in history, a deal Wagner made to fund his dreams and aspirations for his blossoming company, Copper Cane Wines & Provisions and expanding his farming footprint throughout the West Coast.
About Copper Cane:
Since starting Copper Cane in 2014, Joseph has launched numerous new wines, each with a purpose for being, expressing the land and showcasing his signature style. Taking a hands-on approach to cultivation, winemaking and marketing with each of the brands, his Copper Cane portfolio includes Belle Glos, Elouan, Napa Valley Quilt, Böen, and others. When they make the decision to harvest, they look at measures such as Brix, acidity and pH but also take in the physiology of the vines themselves. As the growing season progresses, the green vines lignify (begin to turn into wood) and take on a copper color. Once this ‘copper cane’ process is complete, it’s time to harvest, because all the green character has been purged from the vine, signaling that the same is true for the grapes and the resulting wine. So though Copper Cane wines exhibit differences due to growing region and grape variety, they all possess a shared character based on their method for determining the perfect moment to bring in the crop.
