Tantara Winery

Tantara Winery Since 1997, Tantara has been dedicated to producing the very finest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Located on the beautiful Bien Nacido Vineyard in Santa Barbara County, our wines are vineyard designated from Central Coast growers such as Bien Nacido, Talley, Pisoni, Gary's, Laetitia and Dierberg. In addition to our two acres of Bien Nacido G Block Pinot Noir, in 1999 we planted ten acres of Pinot Noir and two acres of Syrah which will bring our own vineyard holding to about fourteen acres when these new plantings come on-line in 2005. This fruit will then make up our estate bottling. Because of our commitment to detail and the finite amount of fruit that meets our standards, total production will be 5,000 cases.

  Bien Nacido Vineyard - Adobe Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir
A composition of our Bien Nacido Estate vines, the Adobe is comprised of four small vineyards. These blocks, planted in 1999 to four different clones, are farmed organically. One of these blocks is adjacent to the historic Ontiveros Adobe ca. 1847. The other three vineyards are RiversEdge (next to our winery). Pentagon (five sides on a steep hill) and Corral. Together, these clonal selections and sites produce a wine of integrity; a pure and seamless representation of place that will carry the Bien Nacido banner forward.
  BIEN NACIDO VINEYARD CHARDONNAY
From Block W, a mouthfilling wine, with the aromas of lime blossom, fennel and jelly beans and a touch of honey. Concentrated fruit with a vibrant mineral finish.
  Bien Nacido Vineyard Santa Maria Valley Pinot Blanc
With less weight than Chardonnay, but with ample fruit and a focused finish, this is one of our favorite food wines. You can dress it up with shellfish or serve it around the picnic table like we do.
  Brosseau Vineyard Chalone AVA Pinot Noir
  DIERBERG VINEYARD CHARDONNAY
Very pure aromas of citrus with a hint of hazelnut from exceptionally low yields. Great viscosity yet a restrained crystalline profile; our homage to Puligny-Montrachet.
  DIERBERG VINEYARD PINOT NOIR
This will shine like a super nova; a concentrated wine produced from highly managed intentionally low-yielding vines. Will this vineyard implode into a black hole with its power or burst forth with new brightness? For now, bring on the venison.
  Dierberg Vineyard Santa Maria Valley Chardonnay
A composition of Bien Nacido and Dierberg Vineyards, the magic of a blend comes through here. Partial stainless steel fermentation produced a food friendly yet fruit forward wine.
  Evelyn Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir
It is useful at a new vintage to reflect on why we make this wine. Evelyn Waldron, Bill Gates' mother, was there for us at our start, but left us too soon. In honor of a life well-lived, this is the pinnacle of what we try to express through wine - life as a gift to be savored.
  GARYS' VINEYARD PINOT NOIR
At the cool end of the Santa Lucia Highlands up in Monterey County, there are a couple of cool guys named Gary who planted a vineyard with the fabled suitcase Pisoni clone. We decided it might be a cool idea to get in on the action and we were right. Those boys know how to farm Pinot Noir and we are all the luckier. This vintage has beautiful raspberry and cherry cola flavors with good acidity as a framework and lifegiver. Cool.
  La Colline Vineyard Arroyo Grande Valley Pinot Noir
  Pisoni Vineyard Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir
  Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir
A blend of our Santa Maria Valley Vineyards - Bien Nacido, Dierberg and Solomon Hills. This is our door-opener, our ambassador, our out-of-town crier; a bold wine that delivers depth of fruit and aromatic complexity.
