The Wines!!

Cooper Mountain Pinot Gris $19.99
Mineral, pear, rich and balanced.


Cooper Mountain’s unique soils are the result of a cataclysmic volcanic event in Eastern Oregon some 50 million years ago.  These soils, along with climactic conditions influenced by our proximity to both the Columbia Gorge and the Chehalem Mountains, help us to produce wines with a specific sense of place.

Cooper Mountain Vineyards got its start in 1978 when Dr. Robert Gross and his wife, Corrine, planted the first Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vines. The two of them tended the vines and carefully nurtured them as they established in the unique soils of Cooper Mountain. The vines matured gracefully to produce authentic Oregon Pinots. At first, the fruit was sold to other wineries and crafted into wine by some of Oregon’s finest winemakers. In 1987, the winery opened to offer its first vintage to the public.  We now farm more than 100 acres, grow five varietals and are committed to sustainability: organic and biodynamic farming and winemaking and dry farming.

Reynolds Family Chardonnay $37.99

Lighter bodied, easy drinking wine that is meant to be enjoyed as a family. If you’re sitting around the dinner table, at a family gathering or just relaxing by the pool on family vacation. On Lees for 30 days or more, a soft entry and nicely balanced finish of ripe pear and apple.

Cooper Mountain Pinot Noir $21.99

Forest floor fruit, blackberry, blueberry and raspberry. Velvet, precise tannin and balanced structure.

Yorkville Cellars Petit Verdot $24.99

"Aromas of cherry, plum, blackberry, and garden soil with a lightly tannic, dry medium body and a smooth, interesting, medium-long, black cherry, dried plum, wild strawberry, and violet finish with medium tannins and light oak. Juicy berry and cherry flavors are framed with toothsome tannins, dark floral notes and a lingering finish that reinforces all themes in this wine.” Silver Medal

Naughty Cellars, "Racy" Red Blend, Reynolds $34.99

50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Zinfandel, 20% Cabernet Franc, 10% Merlot
They like to have fun at RFW and these wines express just how fun it is to work in this business! Nothing serious, only delicious is the motto for this sinful second label! More than medium bodied, but without the heavy tannins that take away some of the fun of just sipping an enjoyable wine!
