Sharecropper’s Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley 2013 750 ML

Made by Owen Roe, these are Willamette, Yakima and Columbia Valley wines of unbeatable quality for the dollar. The Sharecropper’s name was conceived during the economic recession of 2001 when Washington growers were faced with hardship in selling their fruit. Owen Roe wanted to help their growers and prevent missing out on the fabulous fruit. Presented with costly grapes to process, and cellaring and bottling during tough times, the winery decided to bring back the historical business practice of sharecropping, resulting in the aptly named wine, “Sharecropper’s”. This partnership meant that Owen Roe would commit to the fruit, make the wine and once it was sold, share back the profits with the growers. This remains an important part of Owen Roe history and due to success they are now able to pay the growers upfront.
