In 2013, Jean Hoefliger began a new chapter in his global wine career when he partnered with Rob McKay to create The Debate. Jean knew that with his experience and perspective paired together with Rob’s, they could craft wines that celebrate the art of conversation, the difference of viewpoints, and the enjoyment of sharing them.

Rob McKay has long been an advocate of the California wine industry, and the right to a point of view. In addition to his thirst and passion for all things wine, his experience as an investor, philanthropist and political donor positions him perfectly to participate in the debate.

These two friends bring their unique perspectives together to create thought provoking and delicious wines that extend beyond the sense of taste to the thrill of telling stories and the art of listening.

By selecting three different vineyards with three different expressions of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, the Debate seeks to point out the diversity of terroir that is shown in each of these wines.

The Debate defines the notion of terroir as the interaction of a climate, a soil and a plant in a unique location. Vines, like people, develop character from its surroundings and upbringing. Each of these wines will possess their own personality and reflect the different facets from its place in the world.

Dr. Crane Vineyard is situated on the West side of St. Helena with its gravelly loamy soils and balmy climate. Of the three vineyards from which the winery sources grapes for their single-vineyard releases, this vineyard is the warmest, and has the most extracted wine style. The result is a Debate with rich and velvety palate and a touch of candied fruit on the finish. 100% barrel-fermented Cabernet Sauvignon, aged for 23 months in 70% new French oak.
