Lieu Dit, Cabernet Franc 'Santa Ynez Valley', 2023
Justin Willett and Eric Railsback built Lieu Dit around a singular vision: Loire varieties in California. This Cabernet Franc from two distinct vineyard blocks—one planted in 1998, one a 2015 massale selection—expresses Santa Ynez’s unique geology of sandy gravel, chert, and serpentine through whole-cluster fermentation and French oak aging. Red fruit, black cherry, lavender, earth, and pepper create a wine that tastes both familiar and revelation-worthy.
