Medium Ruby with aromas of red fruit, with floral and earthy spice notes. On the palate flavors of cherry and sour red plum, with earthy notes. Ok balance, lively acidity, fine tannins ending with herbs and earthy mineral. Drink now, no aging benefit. Pair with a grilled salmon with dill dressing.

Pinot for the people - Lioco democratizes Pinot like they do with Chardonnay. Taming difficult fussy grapes and selling the juice for cheap. Mendocino Pinot has pretty, almost gorgeous aromatics. Blatant fleshy cherries. Macerated strawberries, violets, and iodine. Far reaching scents. Everything's in balance when you'd expect something angular. The mouth is simpler - clean and green, a platter of fruit.

On the lighter side. Ripe cherry, saw dust and juicy acidity. Fun wine to try
