Last Call for Owen Roe & SIneann Wines
Abbot's Table, Sinister Hand,
Resonance, Sharecroppers & O'Reilly's Pinot Noirs

Soon to be Sold out

Five favorites are almost gone. It's last call for best sellers from Owen Roe and Sineann. The warehouse is echoing and we're down to the end of our allocation. Time to stock up for fall entertaining, holiday gifts, and cellaring.

Owen Roe's Abbot's Table Red Wine 2005 $18.89/$20.99
Alas and alack, soon to be sold out, with the next release in August, 2007.

There's really nothing else on the market quite like "the Abbot's". It's a conversation starter. A blend of eight different grape varietals offers rich, easy drinking flavors, a super-appealing scent of raspberries in the nose, hints of smoke and spice, and that over-the-top lushness that comes from the Zinfandel in the wine. The range of grape types keeps the scent and flavors changing constantly, and it just wins people over.

Owen Roe Sinister Hand 05 $21.55/$23.95
Released last month, it's almost gone, with the next release in September 2007.

An exhuberant, lush, lively, juicy blend of Rhone varietals. This year it's 52% Grenache, 39% Syrah, 7% Mourvedre, and 2% Counoise, all from Elerding Vineyard in Washington.

Owen Roe Sharecropper's Pinot noir 05 $18.86/$20.95
Released last month, gone at the winery, next release September 2007.

BEST BUY! Arguably Owen Roe's best value in Pinot noir. Big aromatics, well balanced sweet red fruit, good acidity, and well integrated tannins. A wonderful value. This label hearkens to the spirit of the original sharecropping ideal of a partnership between landowners and the laborers who toiled producing the crops. Elsewhere on the web, it's $24. Last year so many people wanted this wine after it sold out.

O'Reilly's Pinot noir 05 $14.35/$15.95
Released in June, next release is due in June 2007.

David describes the wine as "unctuous, fruity, and full bodied - an indicator of the 2005 vintage. The wine is fruit forward with a beautiful acidity, a wine that people could stock up on and put away for everyday drinking for the next 5-6 years."

Sineann Resonance Pinot noir 05 $43.16/$47.95
Released in August, next release approx. August 2007

Peter says: "Resonance, formerly known as Reed & Reynolds, produces our best Pinot Noir - one of Oregon's best Pinot Noirs - every year. 2005 is no exception.
"

Still in Good Supply

Owen Roe Zinfandel 05 $32.36/$35.95
Flavors are of candied red cherry, sweet raspberry, rich, rich flavors yet uplifted by a well integrated streak of fresh fruit, hints of white pepper and spices, and a long, long finish.

Owen Roe Ex Umbris Syrah 04 $21.55/$23.95
Aromas of blackberries and marionberries, entwined with the wine's trademark smoky scent, make this a Syrah standout from the moment it's opened.

Owen Roe Yakima red 04 $37.76/$41.95
Customers reorder this wine as much as any at its price. An Avalon employee favorite, this is a great gift for impressing friends or cellaring for 6-8 years.

Sineann Pinot noirs
Wyeast, Schindler, and Oregon are still in fairly good supply.

November releases- call us for an update on the November releases from Owen Roe and Sineann.
