WINE DESCRIPTION
Lioco's reasonably priced Pinot Noir, sourced from six Mendocino vineyards, remains a consistent favorite. It is renowned for its vibrant red fruit flavors and refreshing acidity. The blend of stainless steel and neutral barrels ensures that the fruit retains its mostly unaltered essence. The wine showcases notes of red currants, red cherries, earthy forest tones, hints of orange zest, plum, rose petals, and subtle green pinecones. It provides a taste reminiscent of Marsannay from Mendocino, offering a delightful experience for those who appreciate the northern Burgundy style.

ORIGINS
Winery: Lioco
Region: North Coast California
The North Coast of California boasts some of the most renowned vineyards and wineries in the world. Located in the northern part of the state, the North Coast is home to the Napa Valley, Sonoma County, and Mendocino County, all of which are recognised for their exceptional wines.
The North Coast of California has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The region was first planted with vines by Spanish missionaries, who planted Mission grapes in the area. In the late 1800s, Italian immigrants began to settle in the region, bringing with them their own grape varieties and winemaking techniques. By the early 1900s, the North Coast had become a major wine-producing region, with many of the wineries still in operation today.CUSTOMER RATING
