Lieu Dit Rose of Cabernet Franc

Lieu Dit is a partnership of longtime friends Eric Railsback and Justin Willett. The two met in Santa Barbara while Eric was finishing college and Justin was just beginning his career in winemaking. The two were among a small group of young winemakers and restaurateurs in Santa Barbara unified by a common interest in wine and all its mysteries.

Their 2021 rose is 100% Cabernet Franc, and it is hard to put into words how good this wine is. Shimmering pale copper - a complement to the golden hours of the season’s longer days - our rosé first presents rose hips and wild strawberry, and then meets the palate with Franc’s singular herbal undertones.
