The ever-popular "California Syrah" has been upgraded.
The winery has further improved the quality of its grapes, mainly from the cool Sonoma Coast, and offers Klein's signature high cost performance.
Not too heavy, but with an appetizing spicy flavour.
Fred Klein's grandfather was Valeriano Jacuzzi, inventor of the famous Jacuzzi bath.
His grandfather also left behind extensive vineyards in Contra Costa.
In the 1980s, while many others were uprooting their old vines and focusing on Cabernet and Chardonnay, he protected the old vineyards in Contra Costa left by his grandfather and continued to make wine focusing on traditional varieties like Zinfandel and mouthwatering Rhone varieties.
Oakley vines, with roots extending 5-6 metres underground, do not require irrigation.
Klein also has fine vineyards on the Sonoma Coast and in Carneros.
A winery full of old California charm that offers more than just Cabernet and Chardonnay.
It actively embraces natural farming practices and is also widely known as an environmentally friendly winery that is 100% solar-powered.
