Imagine yourself sitting at a rustic wooden picnic table, surrounded by grapevines on all sides, the sun shining brightly above you with a beautiful old oak tree shading your immediate area. You’re surrounded by friends or family, sipping small lot Cabernet Sauvignon while enjoying a locally sourced lunch that feels homemade. This is just one of the amazing experiences offered at Robert Young Estate.
With farming roots that go back to 1858, six generations have lived and farmed the Young Estate in Alexander Valley. In 1997, they decided to make their own wine while continuing to sell portions of their harvest to other winemakers– reserving the best grapes for themselves. Robert Young believes in selecting and farming micro-lots with the highest potential to craft their estate wines, hand-harvesting the grapes for maximum quality.
