Rather than relying on a single vineyard, LIOCO selects fruit from premier sites across Mendocino County, stretching from inland Potter Valley to the far coast at Comptche, with additional fruit from Anderson Valley and Cole Ranch. The vineyards emphasize older vines, dry farming and sustainable viticulture, while proximity to the Pacific Ocean brings freshness and energy to the finished wine. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe 2024 shows boysenberry, violet and dried sage aromatically, followed by sour plum, red licorice and nutmeg. Fruit was hand-harvested and fermented in open-top tanks with 15% whole clusters before 10 months of aging in a combination of neutral oak and stainless-steel barrels. The result is a vibrant, savory expression of California Pinot Noir that favors freshness and regional character over excessive ripeness or oak. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Facts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e LIOCO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mendocino County, California\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pinot Noir\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWine Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red Wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fresh, aromatic, savory, cool-climate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAromas:\u003c\/strong\u003e Boysenberry, violet, dried sage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sour plum, red licorice, nutmeg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAging:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 months neutral oak and stainless-steel barrels \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy We Like It\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThis is precisely the kind of California Pinot Noir we like finding: expressive and unmistakably Californian without relying on heavy extraction or new oak.
