Owen Roe
Yakima Valley Merlot Blend
Yakima Valley, Columbia Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
Another wine from our Friday night gathering we opened the 2012 Owen Roe Red Wine a Bordeaux land of 36% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Franc, 37% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Malbec.
On the nose there was dark fruit, black cherry, blackberry, black currant, dark chocolate, dried herbs, spice and a good earthy component.
On the palate was dark cherry, blackberry, green bell pepper, black currant, violets, a touch of sweetness and some earth.
This wine is full bodied with medium + acidity and medium + sandpaper tannins that lead into a long dark fruit finish. The weekend is upon us so enjoy your wine and please be safe. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

French oak. 20% new, the rest neutral. 20 mos in oak. Big and full still showing a good amount of oak, albeit somewhat restrained for this region, varietal and style. Round and flavorful. Great meat wine.

Fragrant cherry blossoms and leathery undertones. Balanced and smooth with fresh red fruits and a medium length finish. Pretty good for $30.

Very nice example of Washington State!
Bordeaux style red with power and a great finish. Our first time to this winery, and all the wines were tasty.
