Lieu Dit Cabernet Franc results from the special combination of warm, sunny days and cool, windy nights in the Happy Canyon appellation of the Santa Ynez Valley. Working with own-rooted vines, we are able to achieve that remarkable combination of ripeness AND acidity that makes Cabernet Franc so compelling. Cabernet Franc brings elements of fruit, earth, tannin, and acidity. It’s our job to harvest when those four traits are in perfect harmony.
