Producer
In 1978 Dr. Robert Gross and his wife Corrine planted Pinot Noir and Chardonnay on the slopes of Cooper Mountain, an ancient volcano located in Willamette Valley just ten miles from Portland, Oregon. After initially selling grapes to other pioneering wineries in Willamette Valley, in 1987 the family converted an old horse barn on the property to start their own label, offering Cooper Mountain's first vintage. Dr. Gross developed an early interest in biodynamic agriculture, and Cooper Mountain became an early adopter of organic and biodynamic farming practices by the early 1990s. The winery is still owned and operated by founder Dr. Robert Gross with his daughter and co-owner Barbara Gross.
Winemaking and Viticulture
100% of Cooper Mountain's grapes are organically and biodynamically grown across 200 acres in North Willamette Valley. In 1995, Cooper Mountain received organic certification from Oregon Tilth, and shortly after received biodynamic certification from Demeter in 1999; today the vineyards and winery are certified USDA organic. In its biodynamic program, Cooper Mountain never uses synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, nor fungicides, and the winery achieved carbon neutrality in 2010. It was also the first winery in the United States to gain label approval for a no-sulfite-added wine.
Tasting Notes
Delightful dark berry, raspberry, cranberry and pomegranate notes laced with earth and spice are dominant in this dry, but fruity, fresh and supple Pinot Noir.
