The 2020 Moonglow Pinot Noir marks a new era and approach in red wine production for us. This wine was fermented in 500 Liter puncheons, giving it a roundness and weight not seen in prior Moonglow Pinot Noirs. Raspberry, pomegranate, cherry cordial, cocoa powder, pencil shavings, and black tea waft up from the glass. Delivers brown sugar sprinkled on top of a bowl full of cherries, with strawberry pastry and Indian spices. Deliciously fleshy. 

Our 2020 Estate Pinot Noir shows off the vineyard with best of vintage barrel selection, 22 months on oak with 50% new French and Hungarian from Francois Frere, Cadus, and Kadar. Aromas of brown sugar, black cherry, cola, and nutmeg jump from the glass. On the palate, maraschino cherries layer atop an earthy wet leaf note, with plush, lengthy tannins on the finish.

Aromatics of fleshy cherry, raspberry reduction, rose petal, dried orange peel, tamarind abound in the nose. Enters with strawberry pie filling, hints of blueberry and wild blackberry in the midpalate, fresh focused acidity that delivers a lengthy, generous finish.

This innovative White Pinot Noir tastes like no other. Jazzy white peach and nectarine stone fruit balanced by racy acidity dance across the palate. Fermented mostly in stainless, it went on to age for a year in Hungarian and French oak puncheons, bringing a weight and texture all its own. Off dry on the entry, it finishes mouthwatering and savory. 

If a belly dancer turned florist and then moonlighted as a winemaker, one would suspect she was on our winemaking team for this one. Floral aromatics of jasmine and orange blossom pair with fresh honeydew melon. A dense, viscous midpalate follows with stone fruit, more melon, bosc pear, sliding into a lighter, brighter tropical citrus dancing all the way to that spectacular finish.

Lichen's 2017 Blanc de Noir, made in the methode champenoise with 32 months en tirage, offers the classic characters of hazelnut and brioche in the nose, matched by luxurious mousse and a rich and full-bodied bubbly in the mouth. Put it in a paper bag at a Champagne tasting and it's easily confused by connoisseurs with top-tier grower producer Blanc de Noirs. (We know because we've done it!)

The laser focus of our 100% Pinot Gris starts with a honeyed sweetness on entry, then explodes with white peach, coriander, honey biscuit, and nectarines across the palate, then delivers a long wet gravel finish. After 32 months en tirage, this bubbly improves with a little air and is even better a day after being opened, if it lasts that long!

Our 2019 Pinot Gris continues Lichen’s rich and racy take yet on this dazzlingly aromatic varietal. Grippy lemon and grapefruit dance out of the glass and leave your mouth awash in citrus joy. 

Our 2019 Moonglow Pinot Noir brings a refinement, focus, and beauty to the Moonglow lineup that shows off the maturity of Lichen's estate vineyard. Even in its youth, pitch perfect cherry notes let you know we grow it at the heart of Anderson Valley.
