Owen Roe's Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the dramatic terroir of Washington's Columbia and Yakima Valleys, where hot, sunny days and cool desert nights yield grapes with intense concentration and balanced acidity. Sourced from acclaimed vineyards, this wine is crafted with minimal intervention, undergoing small-batch fermentation and aging in French oak. It captures the classic Washington Cabernet profile: rich dark fruits, structured tannins, and a signature touch of dried herbs and earth. The winery's name honors the 17th-century Irish patriot Owen Roe O'Neill, a nod to the passion and determination required to cultivate vines in this rugged, high-desert landscape.
