Rated 94
The 2023 Pinot Noir Lingua Franca Estate is expressive with a layered perfume of dark stones, savory, salty earth, lavender, black raspberries, and leather. It offers medium to full-bodied richness, with lovely umami undertones that will become more pronounced over time. The finish is marked by its more lavender-noted perfume, which lingers through the back palate. This requires some patience and will only improve with another few years in the cellar. Drink over the next 12-15 years.
