Owen Roe
Rosa Mystica Cabernet Franc
Columbia Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
This wine we opened is the 2020 Owen Roe Rosa Mystica Yakama Valley Cabernet Franc. This wine comes from Wapato, Washington.
On the nose there is cherry, strawberry, raspberry, bell pepper, licorice and crushed gravel.
On the palate there is tart cherry, tart strawberry, raspberry, bell pepper, herbaceous notes, baking spice, crushed gravel and graphite.
This is a medium to full bodied wine medium + acidity and medium to medium + firm tannins which moves into a long red fruit crushed gravel finish. Have a great end of the week and look forward to the weekend. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Very nice. Some spice... cinnamon. And after a few hours an interesting synthetic floral note I couldn’t put my finger on... but liked it. Medium body.

A damn near perfect wine! Sultry, silky smooth with plum and stewed blueberry fruit. Baking spices and vanilla round out this wine. Relieved I stocked up on this for the holidays...2007 for the win!!

Jun 19th, 2018Just ripe, if not slightly over, red berries and cherries leap out of the bowl along with earthy elements of potting and damp leaves. Hibiscus flower, black tea leaves and baking spice round out the nose. On the palate, sweet bell pepper notes intermingle with more florality for a layered mouth feel that goes perfectly with charred meats. A very special cab franc from a damn fine Yakima winery.

Jan 15th, 2018By previous reviews this must have been a tough vintage. Plenty of extraction for something I expected to have more in its stuffing. Depth and body showed unresolved and aggressive tannins and tartness, while showing off green fruit.
