Lioco has built a reputation for producing consistently high-quality Pinot Noir. They’re known for a dedication to showcasing the unique characteristics of specific old-vine vineyards within California’s cool-climate areas, particularly the Sonoma Coast and Santa Cruz Mountains. This resonates with wine enthusiasts seeking wines that express a sense of place. Lioco practices a “less is more” approach in the winery, focusing on native yeast fermentation and minimal oak influence.
” Made from one of Anderson Valley’s oldest sites, the 2021 Pinot Noir Edmeades Vineyard is richly layered in rhubarb, raspberry, and darker fruit tones than the 2022, with a broader texture across the light-bodied midpalate, finishing in a hint of forest pine. It should do well in the cellar through 2030-2036, but it’s also damn delicious now.”
