(Cooper Mountain Vineyards Pinot Noir Life, Willamette Valley, Oregon) One of the biggest mistakes made by the USDA in recent years was bowing to special interests to define “organic wine” as unsulfured, practically dooming the category to mediocrity and damaging the reputation of more sensibly made, organically grown wines. That said, occasionally you will find an unsulfured wine crafted with unerring care and detail—such as this fruit-focused cuvée in which oak aging was minimized to capture a fresh, lively, mildly spiced, totally clean and bright varietal fruitiness, suggesting cranberry and cherry, couched on a bed of soft tannin. From certified organic and Biodynamic estate grapes. Hot Picks
