For more than two decades, Brian and Kimberly Loring worked with some of California’s most compelling vineyards, guided by a simple belief: great wines begin with great places. Cooper River is both a continuation of that journey and an opportunity to explore new paths, new vineyards, and new ideas, without losing sight of what matters most.
Origins →
Before there were vineyards to explore or wines to collect,
there was family.
Cooper Jaxon and
River Quinn, Kimberly’s children, inspired both the
name and the spirit of the winery. The wines that carry their
names mark the beginning of a journey
rooted in family, place, and the connections that endure
across generations.

Exceptional vineyards have a way of revealing themselves over time. Our single-vineyard wines explore distinctive sites across California, each chosen for the character, energy, and individuality it brings to the wine.
Rosella's, Clos Pepe, Sierra Mar, Sage Ridge
From the rugged slopes of Sage Ridge Vineyard comes a wine
unlike any other in the collection. High above Lake Hennessey,
Cabernet Sauvignon grows in small blocks across the eastern
mountains of Napa Valley. This is where our first Napa Valley
wine begins. What we select and how long we wait shape it from
there. There will never be much of it.
River's
Cuvée is a singular expression of place that reveals another
side of Cooper River.
Drawn from the three most compelling barrels of the vintage,
The Three is where selection finds its truest form.
Three are chosen. One is born.
Divergence explores the creative tension between structure and possibility through an evolving expression of winemaking without limits. Years of experience give that freedom a foundation. Each vintage is a new iteration of the same idea, shaped by the season, the cellar, and the decisions we make along the way. The wine remains recognizably Divergence, but it never has to repeat itself. It begins with the same question and arrives at its own answer.

Discovery doesn’t end when the wine is bottled.
It continues around the barrels, across the tasting table, and in conversations that begin with a glass and find their own direction. Experience the wines alongside the people who make and share them, discovering along the way the places that give each one its individuality.
Join us at our winery and tasting room in Lompoc’s Wine Ghetto for tastings, barrel samples, release gatherings, shared experiences, and conversations that continue the journey.
