Sourced from one of the most prestigious and historic sites in the Pacific Northwest, the Owen Roe Seven Hills Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a masterclass in Walla Walla Valley terroir. First planted in 1980, the Seven Hills Vineyard is situated on the southern side of the appellation, where vines thrive in deep, wind-blown loess soils. This unique terroir imparts a distinct elegance and complexity to the Cabernet Sauvignon, characterized by refined tannins, vibrant acidity, and signature notes of dusty cocoa, dark cherry, and dried savory herbs. Winemaker David O'Reilly employs minimal intervention and traditional small-batch fermentation, followed by meticulous aging in French oak barrels to allow the vineyard's ancient soil signature to shine through. The result is a sophisticated, age-worthy red wine that beautifully honors the pioneering spirit of Walla Walla Valley grape growing.
