Staff Pick Notes

For those looking for a California Chardonnay with more character and less oak look no farther! Lioco is known for the minimal intervention production style and this wine, while just the introduction to their portfolio, showcases their approach beautifully. Sourced throughout Sonoma county this Chardonnay has a wonderfully crisp, acidic drive thanks to the foggy demeanor of the region. Shale, tangerines, and meyer lemon burst off the nose while more rich lemon custard and herbaceous thyme become apparent on the palate.
