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 dialect of the Philippines, means ‘to create.’ The 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 and fresh, with classic notes of bell peppers and black cherries. The Syrah is made in exactly the same way, but showcases lush, vibrant fruit, with softer tannins and a generous finish. Only 672 bottles of the Cabernet Franc and 156 bottles of the Syrah were made.
Only 24 sets are available.
