✨ Technical Specifications
The Growers Guild Cabernet Sauvignon is a heartfelt tribute to the dedicated grape growers of Washington State, born from Owen Roe's deep-rooted partnerships with premier vineyards across the Columbia Valley. This wine celebrates the collaborative spirit of the Pacific Northwest wine community, where winemakers and growers work in unison to coax the finest expression from the land. Sourced from vineyards nestled in the rain shadow of the Cascade Mountains, the grapes benefit from hot, sunny days and cool desert nights, a dramatic diurnal shift that preserves natural acidity while developing rich, concentrated flavors. Crafted with Owen Roe's signature minimal-intervention philosophy, this Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the classic structure, dark fruit intensity, and refined tannins characteristic of Washington's unique terroir.
🍾 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.
