Coravinned one glass and drank the rest the next day. Salmon cakes the first night, pulled chicken with a mild Spanish red sauce the next. The wine complimented both dishes. This is relatively fruit forward, full-bodied, and dark in color for a Pinot. Low acidity makes this a great wine for sipping on its own, as well.

Opened for about 2 hours before drinking. Lighter tannins, but still of a lot of fruit, and acidity there. However, I'm not sure if it will improve over the next couple of years so I'll begin to start drinking the rest.

Color: medium ruby Nose: stem, red fruit just ripe. Cherry, overripe strawberry, raspberry. Full bill. Some hints of spice here too: little cinnamon and maybe cardamom too. Earth. Wet stones Palate: high acidity, low tannins, perceptible but not the main item here. Body is medium. I mainly get the red fruit and the minerals Finish: medium
Very well executed. I think this can go a while more but right now, it's beautiful. I had this with one hour of air and a risotto with porcini and it worked out wonderfully. Always best at winter room temp.

Fabulous showing from Lioco. Clean and fruity, cherry and cola when young - although not old by Burgundy standards, this Cali Pinot is showing great earthiness, restrained fruit and the more balanced flavor profile of an older, high-end Burgundy. Had it with Guinness pie (lamb and beef) and it was great.

This is drinking really well now. Popped and poured and it was great immediately.
