THE TEAM
Winemaker Bill Owen has been in the restaurant, wholesale and retail wine business for over 25 years. He has traveled and studied extensively in the wine regions of France, Italy and Germany and developed his interest in winemaking while working with two of Washington's top winemakers.
Partner Rob Sullivan is a retired Seattle-area banker with an entrepreneurial spirit and a wine-loving heart. Owen and Sullivan joined forces in 1997 and OWEN-SULLIVAN was born.
THE WINE
In recent years Washington State has become internationally recognized as having some of the world's best conditions for growing superb wine grapes. OWEN-SULLIVAN was created in 1997 with one goal in mind; to capitalize on this resource by securing fruit from the best vineyards to craft some of the Northwest's finest wines. This focus on select sites, combined with a winemaking ethic centered on simplicity (i.e. no filtering, no fining), gives our wines a more generous mouth feel and a more complete flavor profile.
Our wines are aged exclusively in French oak barrels with approximately 35% new and the remainder in second, third and fourth year. Bottling is done by gravity. Our style emphasizes the terroir and the specific quality of the fruit, with the oak in a supporting role. The results are opulent, voluptuous and concentrated wines that are immensely pleasing in their youth, yet possess the structure and balance to reward cellaring.
Our first vintage consisted of 80 cases of 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon. Last year we produced 2000 cases including: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Syrah, Semillon, Muscat and R3 -- a "Bordeaux blend" of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot.
