An interesting primitivo. The fruit is a bit more subdued favoring light kisses of plum and currant. The cognac barrel stands out prominently. I get cocoa powder and a bit of vanilla, maybe a touch of tobacco. It's full bodied that balances out a tannic and alcoholic finish. Still has the intangibles of a primitivo but makes me want some brandy. Creamy mouthfeel, touch of slate. Would love to have again. — 3 years ago

Lioco Chardonnay is MVP level QPR. This is dynamic, textured, layered, and complex in a tax bracket where Chardonnay usually sucks.

The aromas are subtle and steely lemon, smelling fresh as spa water. Flavors of jasmine and blanched bitter almond and yellow apple. Where there's zero oak, there's texture and acid.

I've always liked this wine but this year seems particularly good. — 4 years ago

New Years Eve at The Farm Restaurant, Carneros Resort and Spa. Opened some of my favorite wines: Marcassin Chardonnay, 2012 with oysters and caviar and salmon dish. Structure of wine is layered with apricot-orange, floral blossoms, lemon, cedar and vanilla. The Next of Kyn, 2013 Syrah blend paired nicely with the Wellington beef. Covers the pallet with dark blackberry, licorice and chocolate changing in taste as it opened up. Tannins still present but not over powering. Both wines deserve a 9.5 rating with plenty of age left on them. — 6 years ago
