Aprašymas

This graceful and nuanced wine was picked at the beginning of harvest from select blocks in our Estate vineyard that were beautifully developed well before the onset of the unprecedented challenges of this vintage. The resulting Lingua Franca Estate Pinot Noir begins with a heady scent of roses, violets, raspberries, and blackberries. On the palate, the wine is structured, with a velvety texture and lingering flavors.

Serving recommendations

Serve at 16-18 °C with porcini risotto, roast chicken with morel or porcini mushrooms, grilled quail, rabbit fricassee, grilled lamb loin.

Wine Spectator

A wine with presence and a tight but refined core of bright acidity and tannins, framed by expressive rose petal, raspberry and river stone accents. Best from 2020 through 2027.

Wine Advocate

Pale to medium ruby-purple, the 2017 Pinot Noir Estate is scented of blueberries, marionberries and blackberries with accents of mossy bark, forest floor and violets. Medium-bodied, it offers intense, ripe, floral-tinged fruits with a pleasantly chalky frame and great freshness, finishing long and flavorful.

Apie gamintoją

Lingua Franca was co-founded by Larry Stone, David Honig, and Dominique Lafon in 2015, inspired by the exceptional vineyard site in the Eola-Amity Hills that Larry bought in 2012. They soon hired Thomas Savre, a brilliant young winemaker with work experience at some of the best domaines in Burgundy and an inquisitive mind. Together they have assembled a team of talented and passionate members. All are committed to farming and winemaking practices that respect the environment, believing that complex and undisturbed ecosystems help to create the most interesting and seductive wines.
