This wine comes from Tagabelle vineyard, a three acre organic vineyard owned and farmed by the Bolton Family in Los Olivos. This wine had an unconventional inception! I hadn’t originally intended to make a single vineyard Roussanne. Instead, I had first sought out Tagabelle Vineyard in 2023 solely to make Sundrop, the fermented field blend of Rhone whites.  However, after tasting the Roussanne in the field and looking at the chemistry, I knew this block would be something special on its own. 2024 is the second vintage of this single variety Roussanne, and I am amazed with the precision and clarity of this wine yet again.  This wine feels really special, and I am confident that it will withstand the test of time.

More Info

We harvested the Roussanne on September 10th, and brought it to the winery where we separated it into direct press and foot-tread components. The Roussanne settled for one day as juice in and was then racked via gravity to neutral French oak barrels for primary and secondary fermentation. The wine stayed on its fermentation lees for 9 months and was racked to tank a month before being bottled unfined and unfiltered in September of 2025.

Tasting Notes

Delicate and delightful with tension and minerality leaving you wanting more. She has a rare elegance for a Rhone White - think Chardonnay with a little more warmth and honey in the midpallate. The little texture and bitterness on the finish reminds you it truly is Roussanne. Sunshine, hot days, late nights, crisp salad. This wine likes anything you love.

  • about the label

    Art: The native bee feeding on the deerweed was painted by my mom, Eileen Anderson. Bombus crotchii is a California native bee that is rapidly declining in population throughout the state due to improper use of insecticides. Luckily for us, these native bees grace our hedgerow and understory plants beneath our vineyard rows daily. The flower on the front is Acmispon glaber, also known as deerweed. Deerweed is planted in our hedgerow and is found readily in the native scrub around Los Olivos District.. Deerweed is also in the Fabacae family, which means its nitrogen fixing! It’s a pretty cool plant if you ask me!
