Winemaker Notes
The much-anticipated second vintage of this wine struggled with a poor vintage. Ironically, the inability to superripen the grapes resulted in a Bordeaux-like wine, rather like a good St.-Emilion, although it's 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Sweet cassis is offset with sage and tobacco in this early maturing wine of great distinction and charm.

One hundred and forty-three years after Peter and Rachel Young established their 206-acre farm in Alexander Valley, California, their great-grandchildren are building a winery and adding a new chapter to the family history. The Young Family became winegrowers in 1963 when third generation Robert Young planted the valley's first Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. In 1975 they were propelled into international prominence, with the help of winemaker Richard Arrowood, by becoming one of the first vineyard-designation wines in California. The legacy now continues, collaborating again with Arrowood to create the premier offerings from Robert Young Estate Winery.
