Lioco
Caleta Santa Cruz Mountains Syrah
Santa Cruz Mountains, San Francisco Bay, California, USA
Took a some time for this wine to open and unwind, but I’ve enjoyed tasting it all the way through. Loved the ride. A stunner on Day 3 as we find it tasting like your quintessential “Supreme” Pizza. Serious notes of green bell pepper, Italian sausage (w/ fennel), black olives, sweated onions and savory oregano. Aromas of violets, crushed vitamins, and crunchy minerals. A fun site to work with in my time with Lioco wines. Santa Cruz!

Got try with the 2014 vintage. Can see how vintages are different. This was a little more together vs the 2014. More dark fruit and black olive note with a slight gamey note in the back.

Jan 14th, 2016Excited to try this but it needs a lot of aeration. Acid is over the top. Hoping it calms down and opens up the fruit profile I'd expect from Santa Cruz
