ABOUT KESNER WINES:

Kesner Wines are made in a natural, non-interventionist style. The approach from the outset has been to highlight exceptional vineyards that produce a level of excellence unlike any other. The resultant wines speak of both the vintage and the vineyard. The hope is that the growing season leaves a heavier print on the wine than does the hand of the winemaker.

Jason Steven Kesner, the owner of and winemaker for Kesner Wines, has lived in the Napa Valley since 1979, where both he and his family have been involved in the vineyard and winery ends of the business for the last 30 years. From 2000 to 2008 Jason managed Hudson Vineyards where he grew fruit for some of the most highly regarded wine programs in the country. The summer of 2008 marked a change in course, when Jason joined Kistler Vineyards in Sebastopol as Assistant Winemaker. At Kistler, Jason is working in both the vineyard and the winery, as the two should be and clearly are inseparable in the making of great wines

Jason has approached the wine from the foundation of a clear understanding of the vineyard, and hopes to fulfill the true role of Vigneron, guiding the process from pruning to glass. The best vineyards need very little manipulation, having found their own balance through gentle guidance. Having realized that the best wines shined in the light of the same approach, Jason has allowed at every turn, the opportunity for the vineyard to speak through the wine.

Please contact us in regards to the availability of our Spring 2009 release of the 2007 wines which include the Hudson Vineyards Chardonnay, the Napa Valley Old Vine Chardonnay and the Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir, the grand total of the three wines being under 700 total cases produced from this vintage.
