Matt Revelette was named the winemaker at Siduri Wines in Santa Rosa, one of the top pinot noir producers in Sonoma County.
Revelette was selected by founding winemaker Adam Lee.
Almost five years ago, Lee sold his winery to Jackson Family Wines. He has transitioned as a consultant to pinot projects across the Jackson Family Wines portfolio and also has two other separate winemaking ventures.
Revelette came to Siduri from Sojourn Cellars, where he spent three years overseeing all aspects of the winery, from grower relations to wine production.
