There was never a better pair than Lucas and Lewellen. except for Sonny and Cher. Or burgers and fries. or Ross and Rachel. But rest assured that short of variety show hosts, delicious food combinations, and fictional sitcom couples, there was never a better pair than Lucas and Lewellen.

2014 Cabernet Franc, Barrel Selection, Santa Barbara County
Deep ruby red, this Cabernet Franc offers beautiful fragrances of cherries, dried herbs and plum. At first sip, flavors of blackberry and raspberry predominate, leading to dark chocolate spice flavors. Delightful on entry with fluent tannins and a long refined finish. Though less bold than a Cabernet Sauvignon, this red is still a rich pour.
Pair with: Seared filet mignon with a blueberry cognac pan sauce.
Lucas & Lewellen Vineyards is a small, premium, estate winery located in beautiful Santa Barbara County, California. Co-Owner Louis Lucas (The Dirtman) has been growing wine grapes in the region for over 35 years, supplying superior quality fruit to wineries throughout California, and beyond. In 1996, Louis joined forces with longtime friend and retired judge, Royce Lewellen to produce their own distinctive wines.
Today, Lucas and Lewellen owns 400 acres of land planted to 25 unique varietals in three major micro-climates: Santa Maria Valley, Los Alamos Valley, and Santa Ynez Valley. Grapes are hand picked under the watchful eye of Louis Lucas and winemaker Megan McGrath, who then nurtures the selected fruit into true wines of distinction. In addition to the flagship Lucas & Lewellen brand, wines are also bottled under the Mandolina and Queen of Hearts labels. The Lucas & Lewellen Tasting Room is located in the charming European inspired village of Solvang.
