Robert Young Scion Estate Red 1998
Varietal: Bordeaux Red Blends
Vineyard: Robert Young Estate Winery
Region: Sonoma County, California
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.
