The History of Abbot's Table: This red blend not only represents many of the vineyards that Owen Roe works with in Washington and represents the Owen Roe culture. Each day, their crew sits down to a casual lunch together and enjoy taking this time together
to unwind and connect. Every now and then, they invite guests to dine and experience their daily
routine. This brings them closer together, creating a more personal
relationship between employees and visitors.
The Abbot’s Table blend was originally crafted after a similar dining experience of David O’ Reilly. He had been told as a young man that upon visiting abbeys around the
world, monks would offer a place to dine at their table. As an adult, David spontaneously visited an abbey
during a vacation to Europe and found himself seated at the Abbot’s table; with whom he shared a
home cooked meal and lovely table wine. After a memorable trip, David returned home and created a
new blend consisting of 5+ varietals from the Yakima Valley. This blend became Abbot’s Table.
Tasting Notes: This vintage is reminiscent of the bold Abbot’s Table blends of the past. This Yakima
Valley red wine has mouthwatering aromas of plum, raspberry, white pepper and herbaceous undertones.
The mouth-feel has lovely depth and richness with bright acidity, rounded out with hints of vanilla, dark
cocoa nibs, robust violet and spice.
