Owen Roe Sharecroppers Cabernet Sauvignon 07
winery: Owen Roe
Owen Roe Sharecroppers Cabernet 07 has smoky blackberry and dark cherry aromas that leap out, signaling the showiness of this young Cabernet. Packed with juicy black fruit flavors--especially cassis--this is a big mouthful of Cab, with dried herbs and earth on the slightly chewy finish. David O'Reilly strikes again: great value, great wine.
100% Cabernet Sauvignon, David O'reilly describes this as a very concentrated wine with flavors of cassis, blackberry, and a hint of juniper. The yield was down for the 2006 vintage, meaning less wine, but a more concentrated wine. Made from Elerding and Alderdale Vineyards in the Yalkima Valley, there's also a bit of Red Willow Vineyard fruit in the wine. The wine is ready to drink, and David says: "It will blow you away".

2005 Vintage Tasting Notes
Richer and a bit more complex than last year's Sharecroppers Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine contains a bit of Merlot and Petit Verdot. It's lush and easy drinking, with smooth tannins and enough body to balance lots of foods, hearty cheeses, and to enjoy as a sipper while watching the game.
This is a rich, full bodied, ready to drink wine, filled with fresh fruit flavors, a great value and excellent followup to the wildly popular Sharecropper's Pinot noir.
