✨ Technical Specifications
Named in honor of winemaker David O'Reilly's wife, Anna's Vineyard is nestled in the high-elevation slopes of the Chehalem Mountains AVA within Oregon's famed Willamette Valley. This site is distinguished by its deep, wind-blown loess soils, known locally as Laurelwood, which impart a signature elegant structure and bright, focused red fruit profile to the wine. Owen Roe's approach to this single-vineyard Pinot Noir emphasizes minimal intervention, utilizing gentle handling, small-batch fermentations, and careful aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a beautiful expression of cool-climate Oregon Pinot Noir, balancing vibrant acidity with complex layers of red cherry, earthy spice, and refined tannins that reflect the unique terroir of this cherished family-named estate.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1999 by David and Angelica O'Reilly, Owen Roe is named in honor of the 17th-century Irish patriot Owen Roe O'Neill. Operating across the Pacific Northwest, the winery bridges Washington’s Yakima Valley and Oregon’s Willamette Valley, celebrating cool-climate microclimates, diverse volcanic and windblown loess soils, and dry, high-sunlight ripening conditions. Following a brief period under corporate ownership, the O'Reilly family repurchased the estate in 2024 to reassert their founding independent vision. The viticultural and cellar philosophy prioritizes rigorous low-yield vineyard management, hand harvesting, small-lot fermentations, and judicious use of French oak barrel aging to preserve varietal clarity and site-specific typicity. Sourcing from benchmark terroirs such as Red Willow and DuBrul, Owen Roe produces critically acclaimed single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Chardonnay alongside value-driven cuvées under their Sharecropper’s and Corvidae labels, delivering structured, cellar-worthy expressions marked by vibrant acidity and deep concentration.
