Owen Roe Abbot's Table 2007
winery: Owen Roe
Abbot's Table 2007 re-defines "crowd-pleaser." It's an every-person wine. The aromas ooze with sweet red and black fruit, highlighted by berry blossoms - you can sense the contributions from the Cab Franc and Grenache. The Merlot delivers rich plums, the Zinfandel fat black cherries, the Sangiovese Bing cherries and structure. All the grapes work in harmony, melding into layers of delight.
MORE INFORMATION
Winemaker David O'Reilly will often forego making a single varietal wine (like Zinfandel or Sangiovese) in order to achieve the perfect blend for the Abbot's Table. Some red table wines are made from barrels that didn't quite fit into the premium wines. The Abbot's Table is intentional, from vineyard to bottle. Abbot's Table has something for everybody. A blend of ten! different red grape varietals, including Sangiovese, Zinfandel, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Grenache, Syrah, Malbec, Petit Sirah, Cinsault, and Pinot noir. Abbot's Table pairs with dozens of foods. The Zinfandel in Abbot's
pairs beautifully with duck and beef. The Sangiovese adds a Tuscan twist and complements zesty Italian
fare. The Bordeaux varieties scream
for hearty dishes. The Syrah and Grenache work masterfully
with spicy cuisine. Then again, the
Abbot’s Table just tastes great
by itself.
