Lioco Chardonnay 'Estero' Russian River Valley 2017

LIOCO has been at the forefront of the 'New California' wine movement for the past 15 years. The company creates minimalist bottles that show a serious sense of place. Owners Matt & Sara Licklider work with a variety of dry-farmed organic vineyards and emphasize the cultivation of old vines. ‘Estero’ ferments and ages on the lees for nine months in neutral oak, leading to a wine full of orchard fruit, lemon, dried flower, and wet stone flavors.
