Husband/wife duo Matt and Sara Licklider and their small team produce the wines at a state-of-the-art winemaking cooperative in Santa Rosa. All of the fruit is purchased from family-owned vineyards spanning 200-miles and three counties (Santa Cruz, Sonoma, and Mendocino). The 2019 Lioco Sonoma Coast Laguna Pinot Noir shows aromas of cilantro, strawberry-rhubarb, and geranium. Flavors of raspberry tart, game meat, and verbena. Pair with duck sausage, dirty rice and beans, or turkey kofta.

The LIOCO 2019 Laguna Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is the final vintage of this wine for Matt Licklider and team. It bursts with the tangy red fruit profile so characteristic of the biodynamic Teac-Mor Vineyard while Sealift Vineyard offers up more of a savory, sea-breeze quality that lingers elegantly after every sip.
