Nine Year Vertical
of Owen Roe Yakima Red

2002-2010, With Winemaker David O'Reilly
Also Introducing Three New Limited Wines

We love hosting tastings like this. They provide valuable insight into how the wines age and how vintage variability is reflected in the wine. Plus it's a great excuse to drink ten or so different bottles all at once!

Despite the high scores and collector focus on Owen Roe stars like DuBrul Cabernet Sauvignon and Chapel Block Syrah, David feels the Yakima Red best represents what they do as a winery. An ever-shifting Bordeaux blend depending on the vintage, it is a true winemaker's wine; excellent raw materials yes, but the final result depends on the mood and artistry of the winemaker as much as the vintage. It was always exciting to see what each new release would offer over the years, and it will be really exciting to see all of them stacked up one after another.

Bonus Round: After drinking the past, let's taste the future. David will introduce his new limited-production single-vineyard Bordeaux blends from DuBrul, Red Willow and Union Gap. For years, these vineyards have been the backbone of the Yakima Red. Moving forward these new bottlings will be the flagship wines of Owen Roe: site-specific beautifully crafted blends that show the absolute best Yakima has to offer.

Friday May 31, 6:30 pm, $65.
