2017 Sotheby's: Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir

Producer: Lioco

Lot 008: Named Lot 008 because Lioco’s first vintage of Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir was 2008.

Matt & Sara Licklider and their team make Pinots with minerality, depth, integrity and plenty of flavour. We’ve been carrying Lioco’s wines in our store for many years and this is exactly the kind of balanced style of California wines we admire. We recently did a blind tasting of a selection of Pinot Noirs at Sotheby’s and this was the overwhelming favorite.

Tasting Note

Victor Rabot
A seductive and approachable expression of Pinot Noir showing lush, bright and slightly sweet raspberry, wild strawberry and cherry fruit with spice. Finishes with a slightly rich texture while maintaining lifted energy and elegance. Perfect with game, poultry and cheese.
