Aprašymas

Mimi Casteel’s vineyard is a role model for regenerative farming, a method she has developed as she takes a thoughtful consideration of the consequences of her vineyard practices on the environment around and beyond her. It’s an impressive take, combining biodynamic and organic farming principles with science. We are proud to have fruit from her vineyard, which always displays a deep complexity and layers of flavor.

Serving recommendations

Serve at 16-18 °C with pan-roasted duck breast, filet mignon and hard cow’s milk cheeses like 18-month aged Gouda, Comte, Cantal, Parmesan.

Wine Advocate

Medium ruby in color, the 2015 Pinot Noir Mimi's Mind has just a touch of flinty reduction on the nose to begin, opening out to black cherry, wild blackberry, dried lavender and warm earth with spices in the background. Light to medium-bodied, it’s silky in the mouth with concentrated red and black fruits, spices and notes of dusty soil and autumn leaves. It has a frame of firm, grainy tannins and wonderful juicy acidity to lift the long spicy finish. Give this another year or two in bottle.

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.
