Jason has spent the last 16 years getting to the root of what makes world class wines, world class. After studying viticulture under local vine legend Richard Thomas and then, for seven years, replanting the Michel-Schlumberger Wine Estate under the direction of VP Winemaker Fred Payne and consulting viticulturist Dr. Phil Freese he was ready to take his knowledge to finish planting Medlock Ames vineyards and guide them into organic certification.

He then accepted the opportunity to work with his longtime hero, Winemaker Terry Adams, at Sonoma-Cutrer Vineyards, after which he moved to a small west county vineyard management company, Chenoweth Vineyards, specializing in Pinot Noir. Finally Jason finds himself in what he calls the ideal combination of a specialized and focused wine estate producing his beloved burgundian varietals. Bringing his wealth of knowledge and experience, he is now faced with the variances within the Lynmar Estate; a multitude of microclimates and plethora of soil types, slopes, aspects and exposures and understands that it is no accident that his mission has landed him here.
