Lane-Tanner

Lane Tanner began her career auspiciously, working as an enologist for the famed Andre Tchelistcheff in Lake County in 1980. By 1984, she had become a consulting winemaker, but it wasn't long before she began making wines under her own label in 1989, using the same artisan winemaking practices that she continues to use today. The winery remains a one-woman operation, focusing on Pinot Noir and Syrah from superb Santa Barbara County vineyards. Lane strives to make elegant, delicate gems that are fruit driven yet balanced, or in her own words, "girly wines."

Year after year Julia's Vineyard Pinot Noir is "The Haunting Other Woman." She is dark, sensual and a little scary.
