Sauvignon Blanc

2011 Columbia Valley Sauvignon Blanc

Owen Roe Sauvignon Blanc from the Columbia Valley is a delightful expression of this classic varietal. This white wine showcases a beautiful pale yellow hue, indicative of its crisp freshness. On the palate, it offers a light to medium body, making it refreshingly vibrant. The acidity is bright and lively, enhancing its food-friendly nature, while the fruit intensity is prominent, revealing notes of zesty citrus and green apple. There is a subtle herbaceous quality that elevates the overall experience, and its dryness ensures a clean, crisp finish. The wine's well-balanced structure and delightful flavors make it a perfect choice for various occasions, whether you're enjoying a sunny picnic or a casual dinner with friends.

Columbia Valley

Sheltered by the rain shadow of the Cascade Mountains, Columbia Valley is home to the majority of Washington's vineyards. Cool nights keep zippy acidity in the grapes, while long daylight hours give the fruit plenty of chance to ripen. This results in full-bodied Merlot, elegant Cabernet Sauvignon and deeply concentrated Syrah. White wines are just as tantalizing, with toasty oak-touched Chardonnay and ripe stone fruit-flavored Riesling taking the spotlight. Sub-AVAs to look out for are Yakima Valley and Walla Walla. The Columbia Valley is one of the only appellations in the United States to occupy vineyards in two states, as it crosses the Oregon border in the southern part of the valley.
