2009-2011 Owen Roe Red Willow Vineyard 1973 Block Cabernet Sauvignon Mini-Vertical 3pack
How rare is it to have a mini-vertical of 13-15 year-old Washington Cabernet from a top vineyard and winery, cellared at 55 degrees since release? The answer: we know not of another example other than today's offer. We had such a blast offering the library 2013 Owen Roe Red Willow Cabernet late last year that we're back with more—a lot more. To be precise, a three vintage vertical of Red Willow Vineyard 1973 Block Cab, 2009, 2010, and 2011, straight from the library of Owen Roe founder David O’Reilly. From a special block of old vines in Red Willow Vineyard, planted in 1973. Original tasting notes upon release2011 vintage notesOwen Roe 1973 Block Red Willow Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is outstanding, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon expressed in a classic, structured form. The 2011 shows the redder side of Cabernet, with base notes of ripe blackberries and accents of cedar, graphite, and sage. I recommend cellaring 3-4 years before diving into the first bottle. - Marcus2010 vintage notesSumpt
