Cooper & Thief

Cooper & Thief pioneered the bourbon barrel-aged wine category, finishing their red wines in American whiskey barrels to create distinctive flavors. This innovative approach combines traditional winemaking with whiskey barrel influence.

The winery carefully selects premium red wines that undergo additional aging in charred American oak bourbon barrels, imparting subtle whiskey notes and enhanced complexity. This unique process creates wines with vanilla, caramel, and spice characteristics that complement the underlying fruit flavors. Their portfolio demonstrates how traditional wine styles can be enhanced through innovative aging techniques, appealing to both wine and whiskey enthusiasts.
