Dusty Nabor Wines was born out of passion and, perhaps more aptly, the drive of Dusty himself to make site specific wines showcasing California terroir. What started out as a home winemaking experiment soon blossomed into a commercial operation and Dusty now sees his wine span three different brands and the length of California's Central Coast.

California, Santa Barbara County ~ The Dusty Nabor Viognier J+K Vineyard is probably our favorite expression of this grape variety we've tried from Dusty. It's classically floral but maintains a sense of richness and weight that adds a real layer of complexity that you might not expect. Decadent, complex, and yet still refreshing, this is a truly serious wine.

Dusty’s singular focus is crafting wines of distinction. Sourcing fruit from premier vineyards in Santa Barbara County including the Sta. Rita Hills AVA, Ballard Canyon AVA, and Los Olivos District AVA, he strives to create wines that express their place and vintage. With a focus on Rhone varietals, Dusty is making some of the coolest wines in the country right now.

The trio of projects includes Dusty Nabor Wines, Bolt to Wines and NSO Wines:
"Dusty Nabor Wines is my eponymous brand and my finest wines (Some would debate this but I think so). I’ve been making wine under this brand since 2015. I thrive in the Santa Ynez Valley and source all my fruit from there. Prestigious vineyards in the Sta Rita Hills such as Radian, Bentrock, Fiddlestix, Hilliard Bruce and Spear to name a few. Moving through Ballard Canyon with Kimsey and J+K Vineyards, Then out to Los Olivos district and Happy Canyon for my Bordeaux varieties. I have one philosophy and that is to not get in the way of what the land wants to express through the grapes. My approach to winemaking is very hands off as I try and just be that conduit between the vineyards and the final product." - Winemaker
