Score 92/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2012

Pale yellow-gold. Fresh pear and pig aromas and flavors are lifted by zesty mineral and spice nuances. Juicy, palate-staining and gently smoky, with excellent back-end thrust and persistence. I really like this potent wine's blend of richness and energy.

Jason Kesner began his career at Hudson Vineyards. In 2008 Kesner took a position as assistant winemaker at Kistler, where he continues to work. The wines Kesner makes under his own label show considerable potential. The 2009 Chardonnay Alder Springs reveals gorgeous energy and tension. Apricots, lemon, brioche and lightly honey floral notes are some of the many nuances that flow from this highly appealing, delineated Chardonnay.
