New Owen Roe Dubrul Cab 05
Lady Rosa Syrah 06 - Sharecroppers Cab 06
Eola Amity - Santa Maria Pinot noirs

Remarkable: No price increases in three vintages for any wine, and no increases in six vintages for the Dubrul Cab. And you know the quality. Here's to you, David O'Reilly - you're one of a kind.

Owen Roe Dubrul Cabernet Sauvignon 05
$59.95/$53.95
Shipping mid-late November
A colossal Cab! Creamy aromas of black cherry, cassis, graphite, and signature Owen Roe barrel toast. Beautifully plush and juicy black cherry, black currant, and black plum flavors are at once hefty and svelte, providing a silk suit coat to the integrated tannins. Loads of sweet fruit--with a blueberry note coming out-- mingles with a sappy, dark caramel spice note on the powerful finish.

The Owen Roe Dubrul Cab deserves a spot on the Northwest's mantel for best Cabernets. Wine Spectator gave the 2003 vintage 94 points and the 2004 93 points. Even with the high scores, David O'Reilly has not raised the price of this wine in six years. Incredible!

Owen Roe Lady Rosa Syrah 06
$44.95
Both brooding and bright, the 06 Lady Rosa Syrah offers intense richness and complexity. Bitter cocoa, ground coffee, vanilla bean, black fruit, soil, and smoke essence creep from the glass. You're expecting something darker, but a refreshing bright streak of acidity introduces dried black cherries and currants. This is a Syrah you want to spend some time with, as you witness the layers unfold over time in the glass or cellar. One of the finest Washington Syrahs we've tasted this year.

100% Dubrul Vineyard Syrah, made from the part of Dubrul Vineyard that is a narrow horizontal band of cobblestones at one elevation in the vineyard. David believes that wine quality comes from the vineyard -- this wine certainly exhibits a remarkable sense of place/terroir. Highly recommended.

Sharecropper's Cabernet Sauvignon 06 $17.95/16.16
100% Cabernet Sauvignon, David O'Reilly describes this as a very concentrated wine with flavors of cassis, blackberry, and a hint of juniper. The yield was down for the 2006 vintage, meaning less wine, but a more concentrated wine. Made from Elerding and Alderdale Vineyards in the Yalkima Valley, there's also a bit of Red Willow Vineyard fruit in the wine. The wine is ready to drink, and David says: "It will blow you away".
