About Kelley & Young Wines
Kelley & Young Wines hyphenates the surnames of co-founders Leslie Kelley and Phil Young — a partnership declaration that places both names equally on every bottle of Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon. The dual-surname format declares collaborative accountability: neither founder's name takes precedence, both are equally on the label, both equally responsible for the wine.
The Dry Creek Valley project sources Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon from the valley's most consistently performing vineyard sites, with a winemaking approach that emphasizes site character and natural expression over technical intervention. Dry Creek Valley's warm-day, cool-evening growing cycle and well-drained hillside soils produce the varieties' most concentrated, structured California expressions.
The appointment-only format keeps the collaborative partnership personally present in every tasting.
