"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. — TF"

"Stone’s estate pinot balances pretty cinnamon notes with cherry scents, whisked together in a suspension such that neither dominates. The flavors feel lighter and less ripe than the aromas would suggest, more cranberry and pink melon, but the texture gains heft from the spice and energy of the driving acidity."
Product Description:
"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." - Winery
