John Gibson is one of the most known winemakers in the Napa Valley His legendary reputation has been built over 30 years of distinguished wine making for some of the Valley’s best known wineries and family vineyards.
A little background on John: He came to the Napa Valley in 1981 after graduating from the University of California at Davis with a degree in Enology. He took his first job as a lab technician and cellar worker at Chappellet Vineyards and Winery. His next step took him to Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars. There he worked as the laboratory director, cellar master, and ultimately as associate winemaker to owner Warren Winiarski. He was responsible for the wines from the 1983 to 1993 vintages. John crafted famous small production such as the SLV, Fay and Cask 23 Cabernet Sauvignon.
While making wine for his clients, John never lost sight of his desire to product his own wines. Cutting back on his clients so that John has more time for Salexis Wines, John continues to make wines for Alpha Wolf Vineyards, Andrew Geoffrey Vineyards and Four Winds Wines.
