LIOCO ‘Sativa’ Carignan 2021
CALIFORNIA WHITE
From Mendocino’s historic McCutchen Ranch, this limited-production wine comes from 70-year-old, dry-farmed Carignan vines. Expect aromas of dried fig, violet, and black cherry, with flavors of Italian plum, blackberry, and hints of smoked meat and cola. Medium-bodied and layered, it balances dark fruit with savory complexity. With just 240 cases produced, it’s rare and distinctive.

Special note from Troy: "The Sativa Carignan is one of those wines that stops you in your tracks—it’s soulful, rustic, and deeply expressive of Mendocino’s old vines. I love how it balances dark fruit with earth and spice, making it a perfect red for cooler nights or alongside hearty dishes. It’s California Carignan at its finest.
