Kleinlerer Wines produces handcrafted wines exclusively from organically farmed vineyards in California using low-interventionist winemaking methods.

These wines are an expression of time and place with the terroir and winemaking reflected in the nuanced flavors of the wine.

Blah blah blah. Seriously. Just open a bottle and drink these damn great wines with people you love.

Organically Farmed | 36-Day Skin Contact | Two Barrels Produced

Sourced from an organic vineyard in Clarksburg (California’s most famed region for Chenin Blanc) bordering the beautiful Sacramento River Delta, a region reminiscent of the Loire Valley…minus the castles. This is a seriously badass wine with great attitude!

This is the 5th release of this wine and it is still a phenomenal bottling. It’s still refreshing with bright fresh fruit, amazing food-pairing acidity, awesome texture with slight weight from the skin contact, and, this year, a bit of oxidation.

What do you pair with it? Friends and food. (My lawyer is insisting that I write that friends are not food.) You want specifics? Salads, sushi, fish, goat cheese, chicken, anything with pesto. Be creative and decide for yourself!

And yes, the wine is supposed to be a bit cloudy. It should be served chilled…but leave it out of the refrigerator for 20 minutes before opening. You’ll be rewarded for your patience.

She’s back!

The 2024 Dancin’ Sophie kicked up a storm after making serious waves on release and disappearing fast. This chilled red quickly became the wine everyone was talking about—and drinking—until it sold out within weeks.

Now she’s back, and just as irresistible. Made from 100% Cinsault (pronounced san-so), a grape I’ve worked with for years in my Rosé, this vintage takes that light-colored, fruit-forward variety and lets it shine as a fully red wine. Tasting this wine out of barrel was pure excitement. What landed in bottle is unapologetic fun: joyful, vibrant, and impossible not to love. Think watermelon jolly rancher, raspberries, red plum, and pure good vibes. Chill it, pour it, and drink it and you’ll immediately understand why it’s called Dancin’ Sophie.

The Cinsault for Dancin’ Sophie comes from a vineyard in Lodi located along the Mokelumne River, the same site as the Cuvée Sacha & Nitza Rosé, but harvested a few days later for extra depth and expression. That added hang time brings brighter fruit, lively acidity, and a subtle wet-stone minerality that elevates the wine without weighing it down. Fermented in neutral French oak and then aged in a combination of neutral French oak and stainless steel, and bottled with minimal sulfur, this is the bottle I’ll continue to be reaching for all spring and summer. It’s fresh, energetic, and dangerously easy to drink because it’s just that good.

Organically Farmed | 25% Whole Cluster | Three Barrels Produced

Born on the edge of the Pacific, this Pinot Noir reflects the wild beauty of the Sonoma Coast. Morning fog drifts across the mountaineous slopes, slowing ripening and giving the fruit its signature perfume, freshness, and finely tuned acidity. The result is a wine that’s light on its feet, savory, and lifted. It’s an elegant expression of coastal Pinot meant to evolve gracefully over time.

Farmed organically, the vineyard is nurtured without synthetic chemicals, allowing the soil, plants, and ecosystem to thrive in balance. That philosophy extends into the cellar: hand-harvested fruit, 25% whole cluster fermentation, indigenous yeast, aging in neutral French oak, and with minimal sulfur. Bottled unfined, unfiltered, and with minimal sulfur, this Pinot Noir is a pure reflection of the Sonoma Coast: wild, rugged, and gorgeous (although containing 100% fewer migrating whales).

Silky and refined, yet mouthwatering and vibrant, this Pinot Noir will ignite your passion for food and wine as it is equally at home with duck, skirt steak, BBQ, pasta…OK, now I’m hungry. This gorgeous wine is made for lovers…of wine, food, and people. Though ready to drink now, its elegant structure promises years of development ahead. But why wait? Pop the cork, sit back, play a classic Nina Simone and sip the beauty that is Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir.
