Owen Roe 2022 Abbot's Table

Owen Roe’s 2022 “Abbot’s Table” is a vibrant, accessible red blend with serious pedigree—rich dark fruit and warm spice meet compelling texture and balance. It’s an excellent choice for daily enjoyment, yet polished enough to stand out among premium table wines. Origins & Craftsmanship Hailing from the Columbia Valley AVA in Washington State, this “Abbot’s Table” edition showcases Owen Roe’s philosophy of quality and versatility. The 2022 vintage is composed of a blend driven by 65% Zinfandel, 25% Blaufränkisch (Lemberger) and 10% Grenache. The vineyard sources are selected with care, and the winemaking emphasizes restraint—fermentation and aging in neutral French oak to support fruit character and freshness rather than heavy wood imprint. The name “Abbot’s Table” reflects a spirit of gathering and enjoyment: a wine made for hospitality and shared meals rather than purely cellar-bound grandeur. Tasting Profile Nose: Expressive and inviting—fresh wild raspberry and black cherry leap out, layered with cinnamon stick, subtle leather and a hint of dark cocoa. Palate: Medium-full and juicy with a core of blackberry and bramble. The Zinfandel brings ripe fruit weight, while Blaufränkisch adds savory herbs and fine pepper spice. Grenache lifts the mid-palate with red-plum clarity. Tannins are smooth and lively acidity keeps the wine bright and drinkable. Finish: Clean and lingering—fruit skin, faint leather, wild thyme and a mineral hint round out the experience. A wine well suited to immediate enjoyment, yet with enough structure for short-term aging (3–5 years).
