Owen Roe's Rosa Mystica Cabernet Franc is a poetic expression of the Yakima Valley's unique terroir, named in honor of the 'Mystical Rose'—a nod to co-founder David O'Reilly's Irish heritage and appreciation for classical symbolism. Sourced from select high-elevation, sun-drenched vineyards in Washington State, this wine showcases the grape's signature aromatic profile, balancing savory herbal notes of tobacco and sage with vibrant red fruit and floral undertones. The winemaking team employs gentle extraction and traditional aging in French oak barrels to preserve the delicate, perfumed nose that inspired its name, resulting in a structured yet remarkably elegant Cabernet Franc that captures the essence of the Pacific Northwest.
