The Chicago Wino: Owen Roe - How you swoon me...
One of the things I learned this past year, and highly recommended to you, is to taste Owen Roe Winery from Washington. I have not had a bad wine from them yet. They really have a tasty line! Here are some of my favorites to keep me warm in the winter:
• Yakima Valley Red Blend 2009 (59% Merlot / 24% Cabernet Franc / 17% Cabernet Sauvignon, $42): Aromas of red flowers, red and black plums, cranberry sauce and blackberry currant. Flavors of tart red cherries, blueberry cobbler, and raspberry give way to a balanced tannins and finish with warm, lingering Madagascar vanilla and black licorice. The winery states, "It smells like Merlot, drinks like Cabernet Franc and finishes like Cabernet Sauvignon!" Drink now or age this seductive wine for 10-20 years.
