David O’Reilly and his wife Angelica, who founded Owen Roe in Yakima Valley, have launched a new winery called Rocks of Bawn. According to the winery’s website, “The story behind Rocks of Bawn is rooted in the historical struggle and resilience of the Irish people. Inspired by the popular Irish folk song, Rocks of Bawn pays homage to the determination of those who faced hardship on the rocky west coast of Ireland”.

2021 ROCKS OF BAWN PINOT NOIR

Pinot Noir from the Yamhill Carlton area in the Willamette Valley tends to be bolder than those from neighboring regions. The soils are ancient ocean bottom which reduces berry size increasing concentration and richness. Darker than many Pinots – this delicious wine will satisfy your inner rockstar! Great after toiling in the fields – it will be the salve that you crave!

A majority of the fruit is from our medieval rockstar friends at Sylvanus Estate in the far west end of the Yamhill Carlton region – Christian and Lisa Eddleman delivered amazing concentration in 2021 and are truly salt of the earth muffins!

Enjoy with a whole roasted animal with a cacophony of friends!
