"The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc is fabulous. Bright and nervy to the core, the 2023 is an absolute delight. Lime, crushed rocks, mint, sage and white pepper all race across the palate. This weightless, nervy Sauvignon Blanc from Lieu-Dit is irresistible."

"The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc opens with classic aromas of gooseberry, grapefruit pith and lemon peels, awash in vibrant, cleansing energy. Bright, angular and refreshing on the palate, it concludes with a zippy, zesty finish and impressive precision."

"The Lieu Dit winery in California's Santa Barbara County focuses on grape varieties that are typically found in France's Loire Valley. So it's no surprise that this Sauvignon Blanc is giving off some serious Sancerre vibes. It's racy and mineral-driven with hints and lemon and lime throughout. This should be a go-to for trips to the beach or summer picnics."
