About

Jaclynn Renée van Sant-Downes
Winemaker/Owner

 

Jaclynn Renée Wines was started by a passion for winemaking and hard work. Native Texan Jackie van Sant Downes moved out to Sonoma County from Texas to start her wine career in 2007, and in 2013 she made her dream a reality by starting her own brand. She focuses on the finest quality Pinot Noir,  Chardonnay, and Rosé from some of the best growing regions in the world, the Russian River Valley and Sonoma Coast, and is fortunate to source prestigious fruit from Bacigalupi and Robert’s Road Vineyards.  My objective is to make extraordinary, balanced, and food-friendly wines from some of the best fruit in Sonoma County with little intervention, letting the fruit shine from vine to bottle. I hope you enjoy. Cheers!
