Winemaker Dan Kleck has been producing premium wines for the past 29 years. He began his career in the mid-1970’s, focusing on the Long Island region in New York, where he was involved with Chardonnays, Merlots and other varietals at wineries such as Hargrave Vineyard, Bidwell Vineyards and Palmer Vineyards. He migrated to California in the late 1990’s and went to work with Jess Jackson at Kendall-Jackson Winery in Monterey, managing its Monterey winery, then creating the Carmel Road Project under K-J’s elite Artisans and Estates umbrella of wineries. There he discovered the enormous potential of the outstanding vineyards stretching from Monterey to Santa Barbara. Silver Stone Winery was born in 1997, with a mission to hand-craft wines from key coastal appellations, focused on uniquely-suited growing sites tended by astute vineyardists. Today, from Paso Robles, Silver Stone Winery consults with various vineyard proprietors, assisting them in establishing new micro-wineries on the Central Coast. Silver Stone Winery's focus is spotting key up-and-coming vineyard properties, working with small growers tending well-placed varietals, and with exceptional fruit and location potential to develop artisan wine projects. The identity of any wine region is inextricably linked to its history. In that same spirit, Silver Stone Winery has created our second label, Red Horse Ranch, honoring the pioneering efforts of those who have settled and tamed the rugged terrain of California's Central Coast. Made for casual enjoyment, Red Horse Ranch wines offer bold, rich flavors in a fruit-forward style that is immediately appealing. Sourced entirely from the finest Central Coast grapes available, these wines truly express the character of the land on which they are grown. Crafted in the same small-batch methods as our Silver Stone wines, Red Horse Ranch invites you to celebrate the "Way of the West" with these limited production varietal offerings.
