Kesner Wines was formed in 2002, during my tenure managing Hudson
Vineyards in Carneros. Growing fruit for many of the top winemakers in
the country, and then sorrowfully seeing my year's work leave on other
people's trucks drove me to stay up all night and hand press a single
barrel of Chardonnay during that harvest. The light bulb went off.
The next year it was three barrels and our inaugural Chardonnay was
released to some of the best restaurants in the country. It was the
Highly Recommended Chardonnay at The French Laundry and we have garnered
that placement with every vintage since.
I have approached winemaking from a very strong foundation in the
vineyard. I think more winemakers should own a pair of pruning shears.
In 2008 I moved to northern Sonoma county and joined Kistler Vineyards
as assistant winemaker where my time is split between the vineyards and
the wine. Jason Kesner is definitely a winemaker to watch.
