These vines were planted in 1973, part of the second planting at Ibarra-Young Vineyard. As with everything in this vineyard, they are own-rooted, farmed no-till, rotationally grazed, and interplanted with native plants of the Santa Ynez watershed. This block sits across a fairly sandy part of an alluvial bench that runs through the vineyard. It has extremely low vigor, allowing light through the canopy so that its clusters are constantly dappled with California sunshine. Imagine this warmth while you’re tasting! We’ve been working hard to rebuild soil health, especially in this section, and feel that these efforts are becoming more and more apparent in the enhanced vitality of this block and the health of the understory.

More Info

This wine was picked around 21.5 Brix, a little riper than it normally lands! In the cellar, fermentation occurred spontaneously with native yeast and native bacteria. 2024 was a tiny vintage all around, so our old vines only made 3 barrels of wine this year, about 30% less than most years. Albeit small, she's a mighty little wine! All three of the Marsanne barrels went fully through malolactic fermentation and spent 18 months in elevage without sulfur - 13 months in barrel and 4 months in tank. The 2024 Marsanne was bottled unfined and unfiltered on Feb 13th, 2026.

Tasting Notes

For cool kids only. She’s a fresh spin on the old world. This Marsanne is of ultimate sophistication layered with lemongrass and notes of citrus tartlet. She’s surprising, lengthy, and full of presence. This wine will age gracefully and continue to develop for many years to come. I love this wine.

  • about the label

    Art: The barn owl sits perched in the valley oak tree on guard for pesky rodents. This imagery was my first idea for an âmevive label and came to fruition by my talented mother, Eileen Anderson. The vineyard is home to more than ten 150+ year-old Quercus lobata. They provide shade for windflowers, homes for little critters, and are an important part of our vineyard ecosystem.
