This is no where near over the hill. Soft tannins, big black fruit. Minerally with nice oak integration. Some smokiness. Just delicious. It could go for another 5 years easily.

Not quite 10 years in bottle but I can't imagine it being any better. There is some bricking and didn't need a full decanting. This wallax2 cab is really special.

(Owen Roe Cabernet Sauvignon Walla Walla Valley) A very unusual nose with peppermint and lots of pencil shavings. Tannins are a bit aggressive at times.
(Owen Roe Cabernet Sauvignon Walla Walla Valley) When first opened, the nose is extremely young with a lot of green notes. A bit of light anise shows through after vigorous swirling. This greenness came off after decanting. The taste is lush and opulent with a beautiful mouthfeel. Give six to twelve months in the bottle. 80% Cabernet; 14% Merlot; 6% Cab Franc. Seven Hills and Saint Isidore vineyards.

a bit disjointed, not as smooth or refined as other high end Owen Roe
