I became a huge fan of the wines of Owen Roe when I started to spend time in Seatlle a few years back. As time went on I started to buy the Ex Umbis Syrah starting with the 2014 vintage.
Over the past few years the wine that are pretty much like drinking a Northern Rhone are some of the best values around from Washington State.
Think blueberry pie and grape jam. Think even more. In many ways the Ex Umbris is as close to a baby Cornas made in the USA that you’ll find.
That’s why the 2016 Owen Roe Ex Umbris is today’s WineSiders’ Wine of The Day!!!
