The Growers Guild series by Owen Roe is a heartfelt tribute to the dedicated grape growers of Washington State's Columbia Valley, whose meticulous vineyard management forms the backbone of the region's winemaking success. Crafted with the same minimal-intervention philosophy as Owen Roe's flagship bottlings, this Syrah showcases the dramatic diurnal temperature swings and sandy-loam soils of the Columbia Valley. The wine is celebrated for its approachable yet deeply expressive character, capturing the essence of Washington Syrah with its signature dark fruit profile, subtle savory undertones, and refined tannin structure, all while honoring the collaborative spirit of the Pacific Northwest wine community.
