The Owen Cabernet Sauvignon uses grapes from a pergola-trained vineyard planted in 1933 on clay soils in Agrelo. Intense, serious and reflecting the vineyard's low yields, this displays plenty of tannin and grip, lovely cassis and bramble fruit, fine-grained, perfumed 30% new oak and the backbone to age well in bottle. 2025-30. ~95 Tim Atkin
The nose offers subtle aromas of chalk and black fruit. This Cabernet is much more generous on the palate, showing flavors of plums, blackberry and espresso. Hints of thyme and other dried herbs linger in the satisfying finish. It's bright and vigorous. ~92 Wine Enthusiast
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Single Vineyard Owen is sourced from Perdriel, Lujan de Cuyo. Aged for 12 months in oak barrels, this dark garnet wine offers currant and sweet brier notes alongside layers of pepper and oak. Dry, rich and firm on the palate, the fitted, velvety mouthfeel lingers on the ripe fruit tones. It is an intense and flavorful Cabernet Sauvignon. ~92 Vinous
Dark cherries, plums, ground spices, cedar and hints of mocha on the nose. Broad and opulent on the palate, with a medium to full body and fine textural tannins. Sleek and layered with delicious fruit. Drink or hold. ~92 James Suckling
Inviting aromatics of black olive, sanguine iron-rich soil, and sage lead to a palate of rich juicy red fruit in the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Single Vineyard Owen, one of the producer's best of the vintage's lineup. ~91 Jeb Dunnuck
The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Owen's Vineyard opens with a bouquet of red fruits, asphalt and dried herbs, moving into a ripe yet silky and energetic palate. It concludes with a savory, earth-tinged finish framed with grippy, dusty tannins. ~91 Wine Advocate
