Douglas & Ana Lucia Stewart founded Breggo in 2005 before selling the brand four years later. They kept their estate property though, and from it the Lichen label was born. Their 2014 offers amid-weight expression of Anderson Valley Pinot that balances its fleshier frame with aromatic lift. Notes of hibiscus and pressed red rose meet sappier, medicinal tones on the palate - rosemary, underbrush, pomegranate and raspberry liqueur. — 6 years ago

Alsace in America. Ripe, fleshy, and oxidative after 9 years - it tastes of gooey peach skins, mango peels, lychee, crystallized honeycomb, and macadamia nuts. Enough residual sugar to pair beautifully with dessert, but equally alluring earlier in a meal. Breggo was sold to Napa producer Cliff Lede in this same year, where it was later renamed FEL. — 6 years ago

Some RS, but clean and complex. Lovely stone fruit — 9 years ago

Lean and pretty. Classic Mendo chard. Only showing a little weird funkiness. Killer value. — 22 days ago
