Notes | |||
"Sourced from our best-performing blocks of estate-grown Pinot Noir, the Lingua Franca Estate Pinot Noir begins with a heady scent of roses and red fruits. On the palate, the wine is quite dense and rich, powerful in expression, with a perfect balance of red and black fruits, dark plum, pomegranate and raspberry, then the nuances of wet stone, savory herbs come through in the lifted lingering finish and velvety texture." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"Deep, shimmering red. Mineral-accented black raspberry, cherry cola and floral aromas are complemented by a spicy nuance and a hint of succulent herbs. Nicely concentrated yet energetic as well, offering densely packed red and blue fruit, vanilla and spicecake flavors supported by a spine of smoky minerality. Finishes very long and focused, displaying lingering red berry and spice qualities and building tannins. 25% new French oak." —Vinous "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. 800 cases made." —Wine Spectator |
