We believe that the most balanced (and thus memorable) wines are made from fruit that is picked relatively early on the harvest calendar, the end result being a wine that is livelier on the palate, deeper in complexity, lower in alcohol, and more worthy of cellaring.

WILL

Will Henry wears a lot of hats. After his first wine job at Leeuwin Estate in Western Australia, he pursued a career in photography and journalism. He also worked for The Henry Wine Group, his family’s wine distribution company, on and off for the following 20 years. Will now makes the wines together with Lane in Santa Maria, CA, as well as manages the Lumen estate vineyards.

LANE

Lane Tanner was the first independent female winemaker in Santa Barbara County, and the first to dedicate her entire winery to Pinot Noir. Her wines were considered collectible and old-world in style, built for aging gracefully. Lane’s wines did not achieve great critical acclaim in the 80’s and 90’s, but her low-alcohol wines have now come back into vogue.

KALI

Kali is the founder of Uncorked wine bars and Petra restaurant in North Lake Tahoe. In 2016 Kali decided to relocate to Santa Barbara County and join her husband, Will, and to focus on the Lumen brand. She helps manage business strategy, national sales, and the tasting room, which is located in Los Alamos.

VIC

Vic’s love for wine stemmed from growing up in California’s Central Valley. Fascinated by the winemaking process, he pursued a Bachelor’s of Science in Enology at Fresno State. His first wine job was at a facility that used non-traditional methods to make port. Some of the best wines he tasted came from Santa Barbara County, which eventually led to his move here and role as a winemaker with mentorship from Lane Tanner.

ANTHONY

After achieving the nearly impossible title of Master Sommelier in 2011, Anthony now teaches Deductive Tasting to new aspiring Master Sommeliers. Anthony's recent role as National Sales Manager for The Rare Wine Co led him to his current path, managing National Distribution for a select number of California Wineries, including Lumen.
