Owen Roe Dubrul Merlot 06
$44.95/$40.46

2005 vintage: Wine Spectator 93 points
2004 vintage: Wine Spectator 93 points
2003 vintage: Wine Spectator 92 points

The aromas are so welcoming--cherry cream, pipe tobacco, and caramel, which guides you into the glass. A powerful gush of concentrated mixed plums and currants lavishes your palate. Tons of pure, sweet fruit, milk chocolate, and cedar spice sails on the finish. As with all the Dubrul bottlings, the 06 Merlot is a bit tight, but decanting quickly reveals the magic that David O'Reilly has found in the vineyard.

Owen Roe Walla Walla Cabernet Sauvignon 06
$42.00/$37.80

David O'Reilly's take on the beautifully ripe fruit of Walla Walla. A more showy wine, the 06 Walla Walla Cab lays its lush cards on the table. Deep aromas of dark berries and cassis, mocha, desert herbs, and barrel spice. An intense core of fruit pleases right now, but there's plenty of structure to go for years. A tiny production Cab from a warmer vineyard than Owen Roe's Yakima Valley wines.

Owen Roe Cabernet Franc "Slide Mountain" 06
$72.95/$65.66

2004 vintage: Wine Spectator 90 points
A serious cellar candidate. Tightly wound, with gobs of cherry candy accented by green peppercorns. The flavors glide over a massively textured body, finishing with white pepper and graphite. This will take a few years to come together, as we've seen with the 2004 Slide Mtn.

Owen Roe Ex Umbris Syrah 06
$23.95/$21.55

2005 vintage: Wine Spectator 91 points and "Smart Buy"
Rich layers of black raspberry and black berry combine with exotic spice and smoke. The 06 Ex Umbris is even lusher than the 2005, showing dark cocoa and mineral notes on the sappy finish.

An Owen Roe "Best Buy" several vintages running. The previous vintage (2005) received 91 points from Wine Spectator and was #69 in WS Top 100 Wines of 2007.

Owen Roe Yakima Red 05
$42.00/$37.80

2005 vintage: Wine Spectator 92 points
2004 vintage: Wine Spectator 93 Points and "Highly Recommended"

Unforgettable. One of the most intoxicating noses of any red wine I've tried. Heady and luscious black cherry gushes into your senses, complemented by streaks of red berries and cherries, perfectly integrated toast and Yakima earth, smoke, nutmeg, distant roasted coffee, and it still keeps unraveling.

After airing, absolutely velvety flavors of black cherries are layered with dark raspberries and sweet cherries.  Sure, the tannins are there but they’re woven perfectly into the mouth-coating texture of the wine.  The finish reiterates all the wonderful fruit you can’t wait ‘til the next glass to get more of, mingling with pink peppercorns, tiny hints of dried herbs, cloves, cream and cocoa shavings.

Owen Roe Pinot gris Crawford-Beck Vineyard 07
$20.95/$18.86

Excellent value. New 2007 release: yummy, fragrant, delish. A good price for a richly flavored Oregon Pinot gris. The wine is made from Casablanca Vineyard fruit, and balances floral and stone fruit scents and flavors with clean, German style minerality and a clean, crisp finish.

Owen Roe Riesling Dubrul Vineyards 07
$20.95/$18.86

Less than 100 cases made, a complex, crisp wine with plenty of sophisticated fruit, clean mineral notes, and long finish. Beautiful opportunity to try New World old vine Riesling. Extremely limited.

O'Reilly's Pinot gris 07
$10.95

One of Oregon's best Pinot gris buys, always a refreshing, crisp with white peach, sweet citrus, and white flowers in both scent and flavor. A zesty, clean finish pairs well with lighter foods, or it's nice for sipping at a party or watching the sunset on a summer night.

Shipping first week of April 2008.

O'Reilly's Riesling 07
$11.00/$9.90

Best described as a delicious bargain, this Riesling has all the qualities of a nice German Kabinet with a new world twist. David's Riesling is crisp and dresh, with a hint of sweet fruit and a clean finish. A hint of minerals and citrus enhance the finish. Pair this wine with fondue, grilled fish, most salads, or just enjoy by itself.
