"At Cooper Mountain Vineyards, we are dedicated to the concept of 100% estate grown and produced wines. We began growing grapes in our vineyards in 1978 on a south facing slope of Cooper Mountain, an extinct volcano site overlooking the Tualatin Valley and notable for its unique and shallow soils. All of the decisions relating to the final quality of the wine are under our control. We determine pruning technique and crop level, when to begin harvest, and how to process, ferment and age our wines. Over the years we have been able to develop an intimacy with the different sections of our vineyards and an understanding of how our wines develop in the cellar and in the bottle. This understanding comes from working exclusively with our estate grown grapes and helps us to capture the essence of this very special terroir." - Winery Notes

Cooper Mountain Reserve Pinot Noir 2009 Reviews

"Cooper Mountain’s entry level, the 2009 Pinot Noir Reserve was made entirely from estate vineyards and aged in 32% new oak. Medium ruby red in color, it offers up a pleasing perfume of cedar, brown sugar, cherry cola, and floral notes. Savory on the palate with excellent grip, a sense of elegance, and a bit of underlying structure, this nicely balanced Pinot will provide enjoyment through 2017." - 90, Wine Advocate

Cooper Mountain Reserve Pinot Noir 2009 Tasting Notes

The vintage is rich, lush and powerful. Mushroom, dark fruit, perfume and spice coat the palate and round out the finish. This is a concentrated, precise Pinot Noir.
