Lingua Franca Estate Pinot Noir

'Sourced from our best-performing blocks of Pinot Noir, Lingua Franca Estate Pinot Noir begins with a heady scent of roses, violets and berries. On the palate, the wine is quite dense and rich, powerful in expression, with more black than red fruits this vintage, dark plum, black cherry and cassis, then the nuances of wet stone, savory herbs come through in the lifted lingering finish and velvety texture. Due to the drought stress, and small berry size, this vintage of LF Estate Pinot Noir has a larger share of fruit from the Pommard clone and from the medium sized PN115 than in years past.' - Winemaker Notes
