---|---|
Description: | This Napa Valley blend is made by the small family winery, Allora Vineyards, who produce small quantities of world-class red wine. Flavorful and rich without being overly tannic, it pairs well with food or simply enjoyed on its own. A Dlm Napa Valley exclusive! Calvin visited this winery in October and Revenge has quickly become one of his favorite red wines. Producer Allora Vineyards was established in 1999. The proprietors of Allora Vineyards are Terry and Nancy Klein. They manage their winemaking business along with their children, Kelly, Cortney, and Christopher Klein. Terry Klein was born in San Francisco and moved to St. Helena, California when he was 13 years old. Growing up in the heart of the famous Napa Valley wine-growing region, Terry developed a deep appreciation and interest in fine wine. After living in New York for a short period of time and getting married, Terry and Nancy moved back to California and made their permanent home in St. Helena. Although the Kleins established a very successful plastering business, their long-time dream was to make a quality wine of their own. In 1998 the Kleins came across a 15-acre parcel on the north end of St. Helena, which had been used as pasturage for over 50 years. The soil was ideal for a vineyard as it was sandy loam and clay. They purchased it and immediately began to prepare it for a vineyard. Part of the preparation included consulting the notable growers in the Napa Valley who helped hand select rootstock and clonal varieties. Presently, 10 acres of grapevines are planted on the Klein's estate. Eight acres are Cabernet Sauvignon vines, and the remaining two acres consist of Cabernet Franc and Petite Sirah. Additionally, the vineyard employs a unique planting style in which vines are grown closely together, forcing each plant to produce only a small amount of fruit of the highest quality possible. Allora had its first harvest in the fall of 2002 and has been producing exceptional wine with each new vintage. As of 2009 the Klein's have released a second label wine named Revenge. Some would say that revenge is sweet or that it is a dish best served cold. We respectfully disagree. We think Revenge is delicious, best enjoyed at cellar temperature. Revenge. Get yours! Revenge is currently being sold in Arizona, California, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusets, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Texas, Utah, Washington D.c. and Canada, with more markets soon to open.
