Review:

Fewer than 200 cases of the 1973 Block were made, and we predict they will sell out in a few weeks at most.

Owen Roe 1973 Block Red Willow Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is awesome, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon expressed in the varietal's purest, finest form. Its mouthwatering bouquet of ripe blackberry, cedar, truffle, saddle leather, cocoa, pencil lead, and sweet tobacco bursts from the glass.

Sumptuous and silky textured, structured layers of blackberry and cassis explode in the mouth. Black licorice, bittersweet cocoa, dried flowers, and a hint of eucalyptus adding depth and weight. A 30+ second finish of red plum and cherry, blackberry jam, and smoke adds to its power and breadth. A gorgeous wine, though a bit tightly wound, decant if drinking now. We suggest cellaring for 2-3 years before drinking, and holding for up to 15. - Jean
