Lingua Franca Estate Pinot Noir Eola - Amity Hills, Oregon 2017

Description

This graceful and nuanced wine was picked at the beginning of harvest from select blocks in our Estate vineyard that were beautifully developed well before the onset of the unprecedented challenges of this vintage. The resulting Lingua Franca Estate Pinot Noir begins with a heady scent of roses, violets, raspberries, and blackberries. On the palate, the wine is structured, with a velvety texture and lingering flavors.

Serving recommendation

Serve at 16-18 °C with porcini risotto, roast chicken with morel or porcini mushrooms, grilled quail, rabbit fricassee, grilled lamb loin.

Wine Spectator
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. Įvertinimas: 93

Wine Advocate
Pale to medium ruby-purple, the 2017 Pinot Noir Estate is scented of blueberries, marionberries and blackberries with accents of mossy bark, forest floor and violets. Medium-bodied, it offers intense, ripe, floral-tinged fruits with a pleasantly chalky frame and great freshness, finishing long and flavorful. Įvertinimas: 92
