2020 Owen Roe 'Ex Umbris' Syrah Columbia Valley

Winemaker Notes:  The 2020 Ex Umbris opens up on the nose with cranberries and a touch of minerality. The lingering aromas then give way to fresh raspberries and blueberry on the palate. Subtle white pepper and cigar follows the fruit to the mid-palate. The tannins are structured yet smooth, which makes this a great wine to drirnk now or lay it down for a few years.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


James Suckling - "Aromas of cherry, suede and sage. Vivid and full-bodied on the palate with a lovely nutty, poppy-seed note coming through. Charcoal and earth, too. Velvety tannins."


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "Made from 100% Syrah, the 2020 Ex Umbris begins with a dark-fruited and ripe frame of black cherry, red and black spices and a dusty and floral edge with notions of smoked plums and blackberry skin. Medium to full-bodied, the wine offers dusty tannins with elements of savory herbs before ending with a food-friendly finish. Enjoy with BBQ and flame-kissed meats."
