Abbot's Table 2008 is the perfect example of a "smooth" wine. Velvety, lush, round flavors glide over your taste buds. The Zinfandel and Sangiovese provide the backbone and show in the lingering finish of sweets plums, raspberries and cherries.

More than a third of the 08 Abbot's is Bordeaux varietals - the deep cassis and black cherry flavors are a perfect complement to the fresh, bright red fruits. There's a meaty complexity to the finish that adds even more character to an already outstanding value table wine.

Upon release, the 2008 is better than the 2007 and just might be the best Abbot's Table yet.

We talked to David O'Reilly today about the new Abbot's Table:

"The 2008 Abbot's is a New World Bordeaux, with huge, velvety components. We know what we have in the 2008 Abbot's Table - a huge crowd pleaser."

"2008 was an excellent vintage in Washington State. Like Oregon, the high temperatures weren't baking. We had a gorgeous, long growing season, and could pick the fruit when we wanted- there was no hurry - the temperatures were perfect."

"Dark fruit notes make the 2008 a richer, more aromatic wine than the '05, '06, or '07. The wine has 24% Zinfandel, contributing an intense, stunningly velvet texture that we're excited about."

The 2008 Abbot's Table is very reflective of the beautiful long growing season in Washington during 2008. With long warm days, and cooler evenings, the fruit developed fabulous aromatics and deep rich flavors. The 2008 Abbot's Table shows more darker fruit notes than the previous two vintages. This very balanced and smooth Abbot's Table has the signature velvety mouth feel with enough structure to support generous ripe flavors of sweet red and black fruit, plums, and dark cherries. Every varietal works in harmony to create this gorgeously layered wine. - David O'Reilly
