All wines produced from Cooper Mountain are estate bottled and certified both organic and Biodynamic. The organic certification was done by Oregon Tilth, and the Biodynamic cerification was done by Demeter International. The winery has 120 acres (0.49 km2) of grapes in production, producing four varietals (Pinot noir, Pinot gris, Chardonnay, and Pinot blanc). The Cooper Mountain Reserve Pinot Noir is ranked as one of the Top 10 Organic Wines on Gayot.com.

The names of the four vineyard sites are Old Vines, planted in 1978, Meadowlark, planted in 1982, Farmington, planted in 1998, and Johnson School, planted in 2000. Cooper Mountain Vineyards produces a no-sulfite Pinot noir called Life Wine. Cooper Mountain is the only winery in the state that is certified as biodynamic.

Famous quotes containing the word organic:
“The best thing about the sciences is their philosophical ingredient, like life for an organic body. If one dephilosophizes the sciences, what remains left? Earth, air, and water.”
—Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)
“When life has been well spent, age is a loss of what it can well spare,—muscular strength, organic instincts, gross bulk, and works that belong to these. But the central wisdom, which was old in infancy, is young in fourscore years, and dropping off obstructions, leaves in happy subjects the mind purified and wise.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“A special feature of the structure of our book is the monstrous but perfectly organic part that eavesdropping plays in it.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
