Jim Klein views himself as a winegrower more than a winemaker. After graduating from UC Davis, he worked making wine in the Santa Ynez Valley, New Zealand, Napa Valley and the Golan Heights in Israel. He joined Navarro Vineyards in 1992 and won the title of winemaker of the year from the San Francisco Chronicle in 2002. He chose to live on the ridgeline above the Anderson Valley to get a feel for how the weather affects the grapes every day of the year. With loads of experience, he has developed definite ideas about how to best bring out the character of his estate-bottled Pinot Noirs.
