Owen Roe Walla Walla Cabernet Sauvignon 06

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.

Shipping the first week of April 2008.
