"There would be no other place I'd want to make wine; point blank, none," states winemaker Lane Tanner, who along with restaurateur and fellow Pinot-fanatic Will Henry, founded Lumen in 2012. The duo pursues a minimalistic approach to winemaking based on old-world practices, and now produces five vineyard-designate Pinot Noirs from the Santa Maria Valley. With the addition of 12 acres of estate vineyards in 2021, they have become area leaders in regenerative organic farming. Their wines are well- known for their grace, balance, and longevity.
