Kelly and Young Wines Kathleen Rose Robert Young Vineyards Merlot

Winery Story

Jim, Kelley and Young's winemaker, has been working and managing his family vineyards for nearly 30 years, and in 2007 was named CEO of the ... (more...)family businesses which includes the Robert Young Estate Winery. 2005 had a bountiful crop and they custom crushed about 10 tons of Sauvignon Blanc at Robert Young Estate Winery with the hope that the winery would add one of the favorite varietal to their outstanding line-up of wines. Alas, it was not to be, and Jim could not bear to part with this wonderful juice. After much deliberation, it was decided to finish the wine (with the help of Kevin Warren—the RYEW wine maker), giving it its’ own special style.
