Lieu Dit Santa Ynez Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2021 Review
Longtime friends Eric Railsback and Justin Willett started Lieu Dit in 2011 to focus on varieties grown in the Loire Valley of France — in Santa Barbara, California. This Sauvignon Blanc really shows the benefit of their sense of place. It has creamy citrus and waxy floral notes on the nose. The palate has a low-ish acidity that makes for a really cool lake-like depth of fruit matched by just the right amount of lift. It’s salty and refreshing.
