Our Wines
First and Foremost, We are Farmers.
Cooper wines are entirely estate-farmed. All of our red wines are built with the classic Bordeaux varietals:
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec, and Carménère
This is our focus, as these varietals thrive in the growing conditions presented by Red Mountain. In addition to our Bordeaux varietals and blends, we craft a Rosé entirely from Carménère—lush, vibrant, and unmistakably bold. This is a red-wine drinker’s Rosé. Last, we offer a Chardonnay that reflects the unique character of Red Mountain, offering a truly one-of-a-kind expression of the region.
Neil’s third-generation agricultural background drove his inspiration for establishing a winery and serves as the foundation of the Cooper winemaking philosophy. The wines present a true reflection of our vineyard, our farming practices, and the unique growing season. We believe that authenticity in winemaking means the vineyard has the loudest voice in the finished wine.
We want our varietal wines, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Carménère, to speak of our vineyards and be pure expressions—so, these wines are always 100% true to the grape. By focusing on the vineyards first and farming for the best quality and balance, we never need to rely on blending to build complexity and character in our varietal wines.
This also allows our wine blends, C4 and L’inizio, to stand as intentional family portraits of our vineyard. C4 is a modern blend of equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Carménère. L’inizio, meaning beginning, represents our original mega-blend, featuring all six Bordeaux varietals.
