Christi, Alex & The Common Language!

Send a text Christi & Alex are sharing a wine that is found close to home, but world's away in quality and class. It all starts from a grape with humble roots born in France that has found a home on the West Coast, and through the machinations of time & man, ended up in their glass. What wine are they trying this time? Why is it special? What's the story and what makes it something AMAZING?! Pop in the Earbuds, Fill a Glass, and join Christi & Alex as they Drink Something AMAZING! . . . . . . . . Lingua Franca Estate Pinot Noir 2019 Eola- Amity Hills AVA, Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA 100% Pinot Noir 13% ABV Average Price - $63.99 RP96 WS94 W&S94 JS92 Winemaker Notes Lingua Franca Estate Pinot Noir begins with a heady scent of roses, violets and raspberries and blackberries. On the palate, the wine is round and rich, with a silky texture and lingering flavors. The elegance of the wine is aided both by the cooler weather at harvest and by using less whole cluster than usual for this cuvée. 2019 is also the first vintage of Estate Pinot Noir that has no Pommard clone addition. | Buy This Wine! LINGUA FRANCA ESTATE 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. All are committed to farming and winemaking practices that respect the environment, believing that complex and undisturbed ecosystems help to create the most complex and seductive wines.
