2005 vintage: Wine Spectator 91 points and "Smart
Buy"
Rich layers of black raspberry and black berry combine with exotic spice and smoke. The 06 Ex Umbris is even lusher than the 2005, showing dark cocoa and mineral notes on the sappy finish.
An Owen Roe "Best Buy" several vintages running. The previous vintage (2005) received 91 points from Wine Spectator and was #69 in WS Top 100 Wines of 2007.
2005 vintage: Wine Spectator 92 points
2004 vintage: Wine Spectator 93 Points and "Highly Recommended"
Unforgettable. One
of the most intoxicating noses of any red wine
I've tried. Heady and luscious black
cherry gushes into your senses, complemented
by streaks of red berries and cherries, perfectly
integrated toast and Yakima earth, smoke,
nutmeg, distant roasted coffee, and it still
keeps unraveling.
After airing, absolutely
velvety flavors of black cherries
are layered with dark raspberries and sweet
cherries. Sure, the tannins are there
but they’re woven perfectly into the
mouth-coating texture of the wine. The
finish reiterates all the wonderful
fruit you can’t wait ‘til
the next glass to get more of, mingling with
pink peppercorns, tiny hints of dried herbs,
cloves, cream and cocoa shavings.
Shockingly tropical on the nose given the cooler 2007 vintage. Lush ripe passion fruit and hints of vibrant lime curd make for a mouth filling Pinot Gris. The finish is full of lingering white honeysuckle blossoms and a very slight minerality evoked from the Eola Amity origins of the fruit. This is a stunningly atypical expression of Pinot Gris.
Very limited, less than 100 cases produced. A rich, fragrant wine, all finished in stainless, it's crisp on the finish and Alsatian in style. This Pinot Gris would pair beautifully with seared scallop, avocado and mango salad.

Less than 100 cases made, a complex, crisp wine with plenty of sophisticated fruit, clean mineral notes, and long finish. Beautiful opportunity to try New World old vine Riesling. Extremely limited.

Excellent value. New 2007 release: yummy, fragrant, delish. Vibrant minerality and ripe white grapefuit explode in the mouth and follow through with a very clean and refreshing finish. The wine is made from Casablanca Vineyard fruit, and balances floral and stone fruit scents and flavors with minerality and a clean, crisp finish. Well made, balanced and layered this wine is an absolute bargain.

Best described as a delicious bargain, this Riesling has all the qualities of a nice German Kabinet with a new world twist. David's Riesling is crisp and fresh, with a hint of sweet fruit and a clean finish. A hint of minerals and citrus enhance the finish. Pair this wine with fondue, grilled fish, most salads, or just enjoy by itself.
