Owen Roe 2007 Lady Rosa Syrah (Yakima Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $45
Very impressive—dark, aromatic, totally ripe and saturated, yet retaining Syrah’s delicate, floral aromatics, streaks of citrus, amplified with a stunning array of harmonic accents. The flavors waft along, powerful and refined, plush and muscular; the wine seems to gather force and length as it extends into finishing flavors of licorice, smoke and coffee.

Owen Roe 2006 Lady Rosa Syrah (Yakima Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $45
This is DuBrul vineyard fruit, and the wine is fine-tuned, round and fruity, with lovely toasty oak underlying ripe black cherry fruit. It’s both soft and well-defined, and seems to gather focus and spice as it lengthens into flavors of licorice, smoke and coffee.

Owen Roe 2009 Red Willow Vineyard Chapel Block Syrah (Yakima Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $55
Considered to be the best block of Syrah in the vineyard, here it shows a generous mix of tart berry, plum and raisin fruit flavors, with a lush middle suggesting blueberry pie and Christmas cake. But there is more—chocolate, cinnamon and on it goes into a riot of holiday pastries. Flat-out yummy.

Owen Roe 2006 DuBrul Vineyard Riesling (Yakima Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $21
A supremely rich Riesling, from a 25-year-old block of the DuBrul vineyard, this is so thick with flavor that it seems almost like a floral Chardonnay. It’s stainless steel fermented, bright and warm and opulent, with Riesling character in the nose but unusual thickness in the mouth. It has a nectar-like mix of honey, wildflower, peach and apricot.

Owen Roe 2005 DuBrul Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Yakima Valley)
- $60
This is superb, with honest, unadulterated flavors that reflect the power and precision of Yakima Valley Cabernet. The dominant note, apart from the cassis and cherry fruit, is tobacco, with hints of mint, herb and earth. This is a Cabernet with immaculate finesse, shown specifically in the way the finish plays out smoothly but keeps lengthening and adding nuances.

A rich, round, succulent take on Sauternes, made with gorgeous Yakima Valley fruit. Flavors are lush and ripe, mixing tropical fruits, apricot, banana, caramel and honey. It’s full-bodied and complete, without heat or volatility to mar the long finish.

Owen Roe 2005 Red Wine (Yakima Valley)
- $42
The bright berry fruit of Merlot is beautifully matched to the structure and fragrance of Cabernets. There’s a hint of volatility, just enough to give the wine lift and power. It’s masterful how this is balanced and blended; every component enhances the whole. Spice, herb, tart red fruit, tannin, earth and rock all combine in a beautiful mix that resonates through…
