Lieu Dit Description
Lieu Dit [lyoo-dee] is a fancy French wine term that means “named place.”
We love the idea that the vineyards that grow the best grapes gain enough of a reputation that everyone starts calling them by their name. In our little corner of sunny Santa Barbara, California, we know the best places where the grapes we love are responsibly grown.
And that helps us make simple, delicious, honest wine.
We focus on three French grape varieties that make classic, food-friendly wines. Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, and Cabernet Franc.
From these grapes we make wines to enjoy everyday and on special occasions.
Justin Willet is a father, husband, winemaker, and proud son of sunny Santa Barbara, California. It takes a native son to know the names of all the region’s hidden places where responsibly grown grapes can be made into consciously crafted wine.
Our journey with red wine began with just one grape—Cabernet Franc. If it sounds kind of familiar, that’s because it’s one of the parents of Cabernet Sauvignon. Never big or showy, but bold and bright in all the right ways, our Cabernet Franc drinks best with a slight chill and great meal.
"Sourced from own rooted vines planted at the Happy Canyon Vineyard in the east side of the Santa Ynez Valley. The wine is fermented using native yeast. The wine is transferred to neutral oak barrels for the winter. Once malo is complete we transfer to tank prior to bottling. Aromas of sous-bois, green pepper and wet flowers. A really clean and fruity Cabernet Franc with only the slightest touch of green. Blackberry, black cherry, and herbs clear the way for a finish that is medium in weight and in tannin"
