Lichen's 2020 Blanc de Noir sparkling pinot noir, made via methode champenoise with 40 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!)
A Champagne-inspired 100% Pinot Noir based sparkling wine from Lichen's high-density estate vines. Fine bubbles, strawberry, rose petal, and brioche on the nose; bright raspberry and red cherry on the palate with a vibrant, yeasty finish. Cool-climate Anderson Valley terroir in every sip. 60 months en tirage.
Golden apple, lychee, fresh pear, and citrus blossom, grounded by clean minerality from Lichen's organically farmed estate vines. Beautifully balanced and food-friendly. Pair with fresh Pacific King Salmon or Alsatian cheeses.
A beautiful, lesser explored side of Pinot Noir. Notes of fresh pear, lychee, melon and tangerine. On the palate, lime zest, grapefruit, lemon curd, golden apple and honeycomb. Bright, vibrant, and lengthy on the finish.
The 2023 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.
Thirteen years in the making, Lichen's latest addition to its Solera collection shows deep aromas of cherry, rose petal, tamarind, and dried orange peel, leading to strawberry, wild blackberry, and focused acidity. A complex wine for curious palates. Pair with roast chicken or aged hard cheeses.
The height of Lichen Estate's Anderson Valley Pinot Noir program. A best-of=the-best barrel selection from 100% organically farmed, high-density estate vines, aged in select French oak (38% new). Concentrated red and dark fruit with spice, dried floral, and mineral depth. Long, complex, and cellaring-worthy.
