O'Shea Scarborough

Our style? Kickass! - duh.

Washington 2007 Reds

Revelation, Main Event, Stand Alone

When asked "If you were to describe your wine making style in one word, what would it be?" Travis Scarborough responds: "Kickass! duh."

-

Travis says: "This is what we do. Look at vineyards and make an alcoholic beverage. What a life!"

-

We are jazzed about the new releases from O'Shea Scarborough. They're unique, compelling, and flat-out delicious. The ultra-small case productions will make these disappear.

-

All of these are from the "Classic" rated
2007 Washington vintage (Wine Spectator 95-s).

Washington Merlot at its peak. A ribbon of bright red fruit pairs with black cherry kirsch, plum, dark chocolate, licorice, and a tiny hint of green peppercorns. There's a fascinating sweet earthiness that we couldn't name right away, then bingo: candy cap mushrooms. They are one of nature's tastiest items... A mere 48 cases were made, from Klipsun Vineyard. - Marcus & Adrienne

Adrienne put it best when she described "The Main Event" as a textbook, or classic Cabernet, in the best ways. Essence of black berry pie, tobacco, pencil shavings, black plum and cherry are supple and seductive. Sweet cedar plays a role throughout, adding attractive aromas and depth to the finish. A whopping 132 cases made. - Marcus & Adrienne

The key word here: more. Amazingly mouth-coating with a plush entry of layered black fruits, loam, lead, bakers chocolate, and spice box. This concentrated Cab has the goods to lay down for years, demonstrated by the structured tannins on the long finish. 66 cases were made, from Wallula Vineyard in the Horse Heaven Hills. - Marcus & Adrienne

Very limited - only a few cases left.

Equal parts Cabernet, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc combine into the 07 Royale. There are so many flavors packed into the glass. You get an idea from the first wiff and then wham - black plum, cassis, coffee, red and black cherry, a burst of black raspberry and blueberry - all identifiable but melded perfectly. Add lavender, milk chocolate and a brine note, this wine is just getting warmed up. An amazing new blend from our favorite up-and-coming Washington producer. - Marcus

Like Cayuse and Reynvaan? Then you really should try the new Black Cask Syrah 07 from O'Shea Scarborough. Less fruit bomb, more character. Dense black fruit, grilled herbs, leather, oil-cured olives, candied violets, meat, graphite - tremendous complexity. Even with the hefty black and blue fruit, this Syrah stays vibrant and fresh. An excellent value in a truly unique Washington Syrah. Co-fermented with 3% Viognier. - Marcus
