New Owen Roe Collector's Case
Including 97 point Chapel Block Syrah

Owen Roe's 2008 wines are on fire. First, the bolt from the blue - Owen Roe Chapel Block Syrah 08's staggering 97-point review from Wine Spectator. Then, 08 Kilmore and Merriman Pinot noirs received 93 points. What next?

Owen Roe Yakima Red is back with the release of the 2008 vintage. We know Yakima Red like the back of our hand and this one's a winner. Our customers love it and have made it our most popular Bordeaux-style blend, no matter the vintage or scores.

And the Abbot's Table 09 is ready to roll. It is the quintessential crowd-pleasing table wine.

Signature Yakima Red.

Just what do I mean? I know the Yakima Red profile very well, and it goes like this: luscious black cherry meets brighter red berry and deep cassis, delivered in a velvety envelope. Caramel and floral notes mix with toasty spice on the finish, adding complexity. Totally drinkable now, with a nice burst of acidity to balance the sweet fruit.

Our long-time Yakima Red followers (myself included) don't wait for the scores - they scoop up cases of what we know to be one of the tastiest red blends in the country. Nearly equal parts Cab, Merlot, and Cab Franc.

In talking with David O'Reilly, he reminded me that the Yakima Red is Owen Roe's flagship wine. All aboard that ship - the Yak is back! - Marcus

The bright berry Merlot and fragrant notes of Cabernet-Franc are wonderfully framed by the structure and acidity of the Cabernet Sauvignon, creating a beautiful mouth filling and deeply aromatic wine.

The 2008 Yakima Valley Red is a truly gorgeous wine, supple with balanced soft tannins. Polished and generous, with a beautifully focused cherry and plum fruit at the core, this is a superlative vintage of this wine. - David O'Reilly

Wine Spectator 97 points
Avalon Wine

"Warm, inviting and impressive for the purity of its plum, blackberry and currant fruit, sailing easily over a bed of fine tannins, finishing silky and seamless, with hints of espresso and violet. This has extraordinary balance and finesse without sacrificing an ounce of power. Drink now through 2016. From Washington. - H.S.

New release.
Signature Yakima Red. Just what do I mean? I know the Yakima Red profile very well, and it goes like this: luscious black cherry meets brighter red berry and deep cassis, delivered in a velvety envelope. Caramel and floral notes mix with toasty spice on the finish, adding complexity. Totally drinkable now, with a nice burst of acidity to balance the sweet fruit. - Marcus

2 bottles - Owen Roe Pinot noir Merriman Vineyard 08
Wine Spectator 93 points - "Supple, spicy and distinctive for its black and red peppercorn overtones around the plush, generous core of blueberry and plum fruit. For all that, this retains a transparency that lets the espresso-tinged finish glow. Drink now through 2018. 122 cases made." - H.S.

2 bottles - Owen Roe Cabernet Sauvignon Dubrul Vineyard 07
Owen Roe's blockbuster Cab. It exhibits an expressive, rich nose of clove, licorice, cedar incense, vanilla, and sweet black fruit. Mouth-coating, velvety, and plush, huge, sweet blackberry, black cherry, and plum flavors are elevated by layers of sweet tobacco, dried fruit, pencil lead, and cassis liqueur. Ripe, integrated tannins are structured for 5+ years of cellaring. - Marcus

2 bottles - Owen Roe Cabernet Franc Rosa Mystica 08
New release.
It is all about elegance and sophistication. The aromas are complex--bright red berry, perfume, and cedar. Initially, the wine is supple and delicate, hiding a richness and depth that fleshes out with a minute or two of air. It's surprisingly drinkable now for a young wine, and will win over even the most ardent Cab Franc "non-believer." Previous vintage Wine Spectator 92 points. - Marcus

Pop and pour!

The 09 Abbot's Table is juice on the loose - it's ready to dive into your glass and slide down your gullet. Supple and smoothly textured, the fragrant concoction of berries and cherries of all stripes. Abbot's is THE table wine from the Pacific Northwest. - Marcus

This very balanced and smooth Abbot's Table has the signature velvety mouth feel with a lattice of gentle tannins to support generous ripe flavors of bold red and black fruit, plums, and dark cherries. There's just a hint of spice and white pepper to give the finish a lasting lift. As with every Abbot's Table, each varietal here works in harmony to create a gorgeously layered wine. - David O'Reilly

Deal -- a double bottle for less than two 750's would cost, if you could find them. The 2008 vintage is only available in magnums.

Magnums are perfect for parties and gifts.

Abbot's Table 2008 is the perfect example of a "smooth" wine. Velvety, lush, round flavors glide over your taste buds. The Zinfandel and Sangiovese provide the backbone and show in the lingering finish of sweets plums, raspberries and cherries.

More than a third of the 08 Abbot's is Bordeaux varietals - the deep cassis and black cherry flavors are a perfect complement to the fresh, bright red fruits. There's a meaty complexity to the finish that adds even more character to an already outstanding value table wine. - Marcus
