About the wine
90+ rated Sonoma Pinot - that will age SO fine
This is everything you want in a primo Pinot – pure flavors like cranberry and black raspberry, a hint of dark chocolate and a luxuriously long finish.
Angel funding gave Jesse the opportunity to hand-harvest Pinot from two top-tier vineyards in Sonoma – one along the Mayacamas mountain range on a steep hillside and the other in the heart of the Russian River Valley – to bring you this showstopping red.
This is one of the few Pinots Jesse makes, showcasing a balance of European refinement and Sonoma richness. You don’t want to miss his debut Pinot!

Meet the winemaker - Jesse Katz
Jesse Katz is a winemaking wunderkind who spent his formative years working with legendary names like Bordeaux's Pétrus (he even experienced a harvest at Screaming Eagle) before becoming America's youngest head winemaker at 25 with Lancaster Estate.
In 2009, Jesse launched his Sonoma winery, Aperture Cellars, where he’s already earned dozens of 95+ Robert Parker Wine Advocate Scores since then. He’s got decades of harvests before him and he loves the community you've built at Naked so much, he wants to make award-winning wines with you, too.
“Angel support is amazing," said Jesse. "Working with Naked Wines is a wonderful way to be creative and we’re excited about a growing partnership now and in the future.”
