| 2008 Robert Young Estate Winery Merlot Alexander Valley, Sonoma, California WB Rating: 89 Alcohol by volume: 14.8% Price at time of purchase: $44.00 (Winery) Type: Chardonnay Principal varietal(s): Merlot I always complain that Robert Young reds are unapproachable when young, but have to say that this Merlot is entering a most pleasant drinking period. Ripe fuit suggestive of plum and dark currants, good balance and mouth feel, a chewy, almost briary texture, and attractive smoky notes. Not complicated, but full-flavored and satisfying. - HK 2016-03-17 [Back] |
