A new winery for Missouri, Owen Roe gets a lot of good press from wine spectator.
2007 O'Reilleys Pinot Gris///alsace style. light body with a little oily character
2007 O"Reillys Riesling a drier light style wine...some residual sugar but not typical for american.
2008 O'Reillys Pinot Noir Oregon beautiful wine..maybe even the wine of the tasting...loads of dried fruits..good acidity.
2008 Sharecroppers Pinot...named because of the growers contracts...tasty pinot but for my money the O'Reillys was just as good
2007 sharecroppers cab..good tannins but not as much forward fruit as I was expecting
2008 Abbots Table..a blend of 8 grapes...juicy predominately sangiovese and cab
2007 Ex Umbris Syrah Columbia Valley...very northern rhone in style..lots of coffee and roasted beans...dark flavors my favorite Owen Roe wine
2007Solomon Hills Pinot Noir Santa Maria Valley...sourced grapes from central valley in california...a little dirt or body odor on the nose and nice enough fruit on the palate but the oregon pinots are better
2007 Rosa Mystica Cab Franc, Yakima valley from some of the oldest plantings of cab franc in washington...dark, intense and good tannin structure..very nice
2007 Owen Roe Cab DuBruil Vineyard..wow..beautiful nose, juicy front fruit and a long finish.
