Aromas of pomegranate, bay laurel, and wet slate. Flavors of cranberry, forest floor, and oolong tea. Pair with roasted squab, abalone, prosciutto and figs. The 2017 Pinot Noir Laguna, from vines farmed biodynamically, is pale to medium ruby-purple and opens with lovely accents of cinnamon and cardamom with a core of cured meats, dusty earth, dried tobacco leaf, wild blackberries and black cherries with rhubarb and cranberry notes.

Lioco Sonoma Coast Laguna Pinot Noir, California (Vintage Varies) - 750 ml bottle

There are two new sources as of the 2021. The first, a dry-farmed, hillside vineyard located at the western headwaters of the Russian River Valley (which is in fact in Mendo County). This site on shallow hillside soils sits at higher elevation and sees 40-60 degree diurnal shifts. The resulting wine born of tiny yields—1-ton per acre—has a powerful mid-palate structure that tastes like $50 Pinot Noir. The other site is on the far Mendo coast facing the Albion Wind Gap.
