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.
Our inaugural vintage of Cabernet Sauvignon is exclusively sourced from the stony, serpentine block 46B of the Santa Ynez Vineyard, tucked into the easternmost reaches of the Happy Canyon AVA. This 170 acre vineyard - planted to some 30 varieties - rests on a 1,000 acre conservation easement that will protect the natural beauty and viticultural legacy of this region for generations to come.
Destemmed to open-top stainless tanks for native fermentation; macerated for two-and-a-half weeks and managed with pump-overs. Pressed down to french barriques (approximately 10% of which were new); racked once after malolactic fermentation and again to tank for bottling. Unfined, lightly filtered.
