About The Wine

Kelley & Young carefully selects grapes from the prestigious Robert Young Vineyards. Situated in the heart of Alexander Valley, this family-owned vineyard boasts a legacy dating back to 1858.

Founded in 2006 by the visionary duo, Jim Young and Kathleen Kelley Young, Kelley & Young Wines is a testament to their shared passion for exceptional wine and the joy of gathering around the table. Though Kathleen's physical presence may be missed, her legacy lives on through every bottle produced. Her daughters, Madeline and Courtney, stand alongside Jim, carrying forward her vision while honoring her memory through the Kathleen Rose Fund—a beacon of hope in the fight against colorectal cancer.

Crafted with care and attention to detail, the 2018 Kelley & Young Zinfandel captivates the senses with its bold expression and unmistakable character. Fermented with native yeast and aged in French oak for 20 months, this wine embodies the essence of Alexander Valley, inviting you to savor each moment with gratitude and reverence.

This Zinfandel originates from the northern section of the ranch, nestled in Suther Laughlin Loam soils that embrace the southern sun, across the valley. Planted between 1989 and 1997, these vines yield a wine of exceptional character and depth.

Aging: 100% Neutral French Oak (40% new) for 20 months.
