2022 Likha Wine Co., Chai’s Vineyard Cabernet Franc, Ballard Canyon, Santa Barbara County, California, United States
Introducing the inaugural vintage of Likha Wine Co., a small vineyard atop Ballard Canyon in Santa Barbara. This micro-winery is the brainchild of Jhonel Faelnar, Beverage Director for NA:EUN Hospitality, and Chai Gray. This small, organically farmed, one-acre vineyard, aptly named Chai’s Vineyard, is planted to Cabernet Franc, Syrah, and a few vines of Viognier across from a producing olive orchard on the property.
“Likha, in the Tagalog language of the Philippines, means ‘to create,’ and this is exactly what Chai and I wanted to do together with this project. To explore the possibilities of this beautiful site and add to the rich history of Ballard Canyon vine growing and winemaking. This Cabernet Franc is de-stemmed and raised in neutral barrels, allowing us to get to know the fruit from this vineyard well. Harvested before the heat of 2022, the wine is zippy, fresh, and perfect with your holiday meal. Only 672 bottles were produced.” - Jhonel Faelnar
