About

Sold Out. With LIOCO everything begins in the vineyard--without a compelling vineyard site, there is little chance of creating a distinctive wine. Inspired by traditional European winegrowing practices, they seek out vineyard sites with tougher soil, older vines, and some stress-producing aspect (altitude, extreme temperature, poor soil, etc). Then we simply shepherd the grapes from bud to bottle in the least intrusive way possible.

LIOCO is the result of a years-long conversation between Matt Licklider (a seasoned wine import specialist) and Kevin O'Connor (former wine director at Michelin Two-Star Spago-Beverly Hills) about whether California could produce a true "wine of origin."

Review

- 92 Points, Wine Spectator, June 15, 2009.
Firm, ripe, intense and concentrated, with vibrant black cherry and blackberry fruit that's focused, structured, balanced and persistent, ending with a complex display of dark fruit. Drink now through 2014. 540 cases made. –JL $40
