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.
” Densely packed, the entry of the 2022 Pinot Noir La Selva is concentrated and firm, with dark brooding components of black tea, clove, and even a hint of black pepper. Savory and earthy to its core, it’s light and bright but no shrinking violet when it comes to complexity and length, not to mention structure. It should age well over the next 12-18 years.”
