The Journey to
Cooper River

For more than two decades, Brian Loring pursued California's most compelling vineyard sites, guided by a simple belief: great wines begin with great places. Cooper River is both a continuation of that journey and the opportunity to explore new paths, new vineyards, and new ideas—without losing sight of what matters most.

The Beginning

Before there were vineyards to explore or wines to collect, there was family.

Cooper Jaxon and River Quinn, the children of Brian's sister and Cooper River co-owner, Kimberly, inspired both the name and the spirit of the winery. Sourced from the Sta. Rita Hills, these wines mark the beginning of a journey rooted in family, place, and the connections that endure across generations.

The Places

Exceptional vineyards have a way of revealing themselves over time. The Single Vineyard Collection explores distinctive sites across California, each chosen not for trends or reputation, but for the character, energy, and individuality they bring to the wine.

River's Cuvée

From the rugged slopes of Sage Ridge Vineyard comes a wine unlike any other in the collection. River's Cuvée is our only Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, a singular expression of place that reveals another side of Cooper River.
