$212.00 price per bottle
Lingua Franca, established in 2015 by Master Sommelier Larry Stone and renowned Burgundian winemaker Dominique Lafon, is situated in Oregon's Eola-Amity Hills. The winery is dedicated to producing wines that authentically express their terroir, employing organic and regenerative farming practices to ensure sustainability and quality. Wine Description The 2021 Tongue 'n Cheek Pinot Noir presents an intense ruby-purple hue. On the nose, it offers aromas of black currant, black cherry, and plum, complemented by subtle graphite undertones. The palate is greeted with a round, smooth entry, delivering flavors of black currant, black cherry, and plums in syrup, all supported by velvety sweet tannins that lead to a long, satisfying finish. This vintage was entirely destemmed, highlighting the rounder, more caressing qualities of Pinot Noir without sacrificing structure and flavor. Accolades Wine Advocate : 95 points. Decanter : 94 points. Wine Spectator : 94 points. Food Pairing This complex and elegant Pinot Noir pairs exceptionally well with dishes such as pigeon breast wrapped in Alsace bacon with a red wine jus. The fine textures of the meat complement the wine's structure, while the bacon's richness harmonizes with its depth.
