Although it’s quite light & delicate, there’s plenty that shines on the palate. Red apple, juicy peaches, lemon oil & almond skin. It has more acid than expecting, and no sign of heat sitting pretty @ 12.5% — 4 years ago

Consistently impressed by Lioco. Watermelon rind, fresh lemon, chopped herbs. Grapefruit and smooth river rocks. The rosé and their unoaked chard are great spring/summer staples ~$20 — 4 years ago
