The Growers Guild Red Blend is a tribute to the dedicated winegrowers of Washington State's Columbia Valley. Conceived by the winemaking team at Owen Roe, this wine celebrates the essential, collaborative relationship between viticulturists and winemakers. Sourced from select vineyards across the Columbia Valley, the wine showcases the region's signature terroir, where dramatic diurnal temperature shifts preserve natural acidity while fostering deep, concentrated fruit flavors. The wine is typically crafted using small-batch fermentation and aged in a combination of French and American oak barrels to deliver a plush, approachable, and structurally balanced profile that honors the hard work of the local agricultural community.
