Robert Young Estate Winery
Estate Grown Bob's Burn Pile Cabernet Sauvignon

Fell in love with this wine the first time I tasted many years ago. I have been waiting to crack open this 2014 bottle and still love it just as much. Complex, tannic, and has the added benefit of nostalgia!

Dec 1st, 2021For me it has easily been a year since the last time I experienced one of these. And wow let me tell you this one would STILL confuse me if I was blindfolded and asked to tell the year of vintage. I would have guessed 2014 or 2015. This wine is POWERFUL. Complex, deep, structure is massive. The nose of this wine is blackberry and dark chocolate. The entry is dark, deep blackberry, cassis, smokey. Middle has some mint chocolate chip, dates. Finishes strong, very youthful, immense amount of black pepper and still quite tannic. Still has 7-10 years in it. Drink 2018-2028
