✨ 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
Founded in 1999 by winemaker David O'Reilly and Jerry McNally, Owen Roe was established with a mission to craft world-class, terroir-driven wines from the premier vineyard sites of the Pacific Northwest. Named in honor of the 17th-century Irish patriot Owen Roe O'Neill, the winery operates estate facilities and sources fruit spanning both Washington's Columbia and Yakima Valleys and Oregon's Willamette Valley. Owen Roe champions a low-intervention winemaking philosophy, utilizing gentle handling and thoughtful oak integration to articulate the distinctive character of esteemed vineyards such as DuBrul, Red Willow, and Union Gap. The producer is widely celebrated for its nuanced single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Cabernet Franc, alongside popular and characterful blends like Sinister Hand, Ex Umbris, and Abbot's Table.
