Jesse Katz Exposed Sonoma County Chardonnay 2022
Market Price
To show you the value you're getting as an Angel...
We regularly benchmark a selection of our wines against up to three comparable wines on the market. The Market Price is based on the price of those wines.
What do we mean by benchmark? We taste them blind against our own wines, or we use our market knowledge (over 40 years between us) to set an industry standard Market Price.
If you buy one of our wines and disagree with the Market Price, or it's not your cup of tea, we'll add a credit to your account. For more info, see our FAQS.

About the wine
A showpiece Chardonnay from our Sonoma County star
- With vibrant flavors of mouthwatering lemon and tangy grapefruit wrapped up in a creamy plushness, Jesse’s first Chardonnay will wow you with its perfect balance of brightness and richness.
- Thanks to Angel support, Jesse was able to harvest the very best Chardonnay from Sonoma’s Petaluma Gap area vineyards, where it flourishes in the cool, windy climate – ramping up flavor to a whole other level of intensity.
- This is a stunning example of a top-class wine with old-world finesse and new-world decadence. One to share with your dearest friends and family.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Jesse Katz
-
A winemaking wonderkid who spent his formative years working with legendary names like Bordeaux’s Petrus and Napa Valley’s Screaming Eagle, before becoming America’s youngest head winemaker at just 24, Jesse Katz has been named as ‘One of wine’s fastest rising stars’ by Decanter… and that’s putting it mildly.
-
The definition of a rockstar winemaker, Jesse’s wines have sold for up to 1 million dollars at auction, and he was even named on Forbes ‘30 under 30’ list in 2014, the first winemaker to ever do so. In 2009, he launched his own winery in Alexander Valley - Aperture Cellars - and since then, he’s set the record for highest-rated wine ever produced in Alexander Valley THREE times. While Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate has given his wines the highest-rating in the world three times as well.
-
After riding to his rescue during the Covid pandemic, Jesse’s been making wines for US Angels since 2020, and he’s now thrilled to be able to share his acclaimed Alexander Valley kit with UK Angels too. “Angel support is amazing," says 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.” The feeling's mutual, Jesse. We can't wait to see what you have in store.
