The 2008 Merlot DuBrul Vineyard was aged in 40% new oak. It displays a perfume of cedar, spice box, cassis, cherry blossom, and black cherry. Soft and easy-going, this is a savory, spicy effort meant for near-term drinking.
The stated aim of Owen Roe is ' to do cool climate viticulture in Yakima Valley'. Owen Roe's new releases are all good to excellent. There is a consistency of style within the Owen Roe portfolio. The aim is clearly to produce wines of elegance and finesse. However, to this taster it seems to be achieved at the expense of depth, concentration, and flavor interest.
