Abbot's Table is a celebrated, eclectic red blend from Owen Roe that pays homage to the monastic tradition of hospitality, where travelers and monks alike would gather around the abbot's table to share a hearty meal and a robust cup of wine. Sourced from premier vineyards in the Columbia and Yakima Valleys of Washington State, this wine is crafted to be exceptionally food-friendly and approachable. The blend is famously non-traditional, weaving together an intriguing tapestry of Zinfandel, Sangiovese, Syrah, and classic Bordeaux varieties. Each variety is fermented separately in small batches and aged in French oak to preserve its distinct character before being artfully blended. The result is a wine of great aromatic complexity, showcasing bright red fruit, rustic spice, and smooth, integrated tannins that reflect the diverse terroir of the Pacific Northwest.
