Jane's Vineyard
Russian River Valley - 195 acres, Established 1972
The Russian River Valley is well established as one of the premier pinot noir growing regions in the world, and we have been growing pinot noir here for over thirty years.
Jane's Vineyard, a more recent planting of pinot noir named in honor Tom Klein's mother, provided an incredible opportunity to take advantage of the newest technology, nursery material, and other modern viticultural advances.
Sharing the neighborhood with some of the Russian River Valley's most important vineyards, soils here are shallow and highly acidic, stressing vines into producing naturally smaller berries, which translates into more concentrated flavors. We planted seven different "clones", or sub-varieties of pinot noir, knowing each had the potential to make great wine by itself, or contribute as an important component of a blend.
