Owen Roe Winery's Chapel Block Red Willow Vineyard Syrah 07 received 97 points from Wine Spectator. Well deserved! Owen Roe's wines are the most popular on our website and rank in the Top Ten every year. Owen Roe makes wines under several labels: Owen Roe's top wines have stunning handprinted photogravure labels and are made in tiny quantities. The new release of the Chapel Block Syrah is only 100 cases. Top wines include Yakima Red, Ex Umbris Syrah, Slide Mountain Cabernet Franc, Crawford-Beck Pinot gris, Red Willow 1973 Block Cabernet Sauvignon, Dubrul Cabernet, Merlot, and Chardonnay, and Lady Rosa Syrah, and Cabernet Franc Rosa Mystica. Owen Roe makes a top Pinot noir in some years, usually called "Dundee Hills". A dessert wine, late harvest Semillon "The Parting Glass" is made in honor of David's dad. Owen Roe's wood print label wines are have the same high quality and the fruit comes from the same sources. The wines are priced lower than the photogravure label wines. They include the Dubrul Riesling, the famous Abbot's Table, and the Columbia Valley Chardonnay. The O'Reilly's label has an Irish Wolfhound engraving and the wines are great values. O'Reilly's Pinot noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot gris are all under $17. Sharecroppers is a line of wines David made to celebrate the relationship with vineyard owners. He makes the wines in conjunction with the vineyard owners and they share the profit. Sharecroppers Pinot noir and Cabernet Sauvignon are rich and boldly flavored. Corvidae is a new line of value wines with unique labels, all related to the Crow. The Murphy's Law wines are a value label with red and white blends. There is no O'Reilly's Pinot noir for the 2010 vintage - Owen Roe's "value" Pinot noir this year is the wonderful Sharecropper's Pinot noir 2010, just released. The Sharecropper's production was much smaller than usual.
