Inside the Barrel: How Oakville Estates Craft Signature Cabernets

Jake grew up in California, studied at UC Berkeley and entered the wine industry the moment he graduated. He created ONEHOPE in 2005 with the idea that wine could be a force for bringing people together.

In 2014, he and his co-founders purchased the land that would become Estate 8, a private home and community built long before the winery itself. More than one hundred families joined in believing in what the property could someday be.

Jake and Megan moved to Napa in 2016, raising their family here while overseeing the vineyard, the gardens, the architecture and the hospitality vision. His writing today blends local knowledge with the perspective of someone who has lived and built in Napa for nearly a decade.
