2018 Sotheby's: Chardonnay, California

Producer: Lioco

Lot 006: Named Lot 006 because Lioco’s first vintage of Sonoma County Chardonnay was 2006.

Matt & Sara Licklider and their team make elegant, subtle Chardonnays that combine the ripeness of Californian fruit with greater minerality and brisk acidity. 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. 

Tasting Note

Victor Rabot
A delicious, crisp, unoaked Chardonnay. This wine is round and expressive with fresh acidity and a clean mineral finish. This wine has the New World richness and weight of California but with Old World balance and finesse. Perfect as an aperitif with seafood and finish.
