Wines
On the nose, this wine displays aromas of sour plum, red rose, and baking spice. On the palate, the LIOCO Chimera expresses flavors of wild blackberry, red & black cherries, and hibiscus. The LIOCO Chimera Pinot Noir will pair nicely with tuna poke, 5-spice duck breast, and roasted game hens.
This wine is composed of two neighboring vineyards in the newly minted Comptche AVA on the Mendocino coast. Sitting in a prime spot 14 miles from the ocean in the Albion Wind Gap, this foggy, forested zone sees 40° diurnal shifts. Made from Pinot clones 667, 777, 115, & Pommard planted in 2000 on Franciscan soils. Chimera refers to a rare albino redwood tree towering over the property.
LIOCO traces its origins to an alley behind Spago Beverly Hills, where Matt Licklider, a wine salesman, and his colleague pondered the possibility of crafting wines that favored nuance over sheer power. In 2005, driven by a passion for European finesse and the more restrained California wines of the 1980s, Matt embarked on a winemaking journey along with his wife Sara. Today, the Licklider family, together with their dedicated team, operates the winery from a state-of-the-art facility in Santa Rosa. The heart of LIOCO’s winemaking philosophy lies in sourcing fruit from exceptional vineyards spanning 400 miles across five counties. Their focus on Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Carignan leads them to vineyards with older vines, distinctive soils, and heritage clones. Occasionally, their pursuit of Pinot Noir uncovers unexpected treasures like coastal Syrah or rare mid-century plantings of Valdiguie. The team’s commitment to minimal intervention during fermentation and bottling reflects their belief in honoring the inherent quality of well-grown fruit.
LIOCO stands as a trailblazer in the New California Wine movement, epitomized by the relentless dedication of Matt and Sara Licklider. Situated in Healdsburg, the winery passionately seeks out ‘special places,’ favoring organic, often dry-farmed vineyards and emphasizing sustainable viticulture. Under the leadership of winemaker Drew Huffine and viticulturist Prudy Foxx, LIOCO’s unwavering commitment to transparency and natural balance reshapes the narrative of Californian winemaking, crafting wines that eloquently express the authenticity of their terroir.
