March 1, 2024 - Always a fan of Lingua Franca wines. Nice garnet color; flavors of red fruits, mineral notes, and spring flowers. Burgundian in style with earth and minerality. Lovely finish and pairs well with many food dishes.

March 28, 2023 - This may be my favorite bottling from Lingua Franca; though the Mimi's Mind definitely gives it a run. A pale garnet color with beautiful aromatics of red berries, savory herbs, stony minerals, and blooming flowers. Much more earth and mineral driven than several of the other wines. Elegant and silky on the palate with a lovely freshness and mineral tinged finish. Great food wine. Not sure how well it will age as this seemed fairly mature, but I would guess it easily has another 5-10 years of great drinking.
February 25, 2023 - A beautiful Pinot! Lovely red fruit and an old vine finish that makes this so good! Decanted for several hours which helped.
November 20, 2022 - Agree mostly with Vinous but I find this tannic and needing a lot more time to knit together with the fruit. The tannins are distracting at this point. Visit this again in five more years.

September 9, 2021 - This is a delightful Burgundian styled PN. This was abit acidic on opening, but after about an hour or so of air, it settled down and the acidity resolved, leaving a wine with a delicate, almost lacy mouthfeel of subtle darkish, red fruit and a enough minerality to keep it interesting. Delicious!!
August 21, 2021 - Light. Tart red fruit with a bit of minerality on the finish. Wonder if there's something hiding under the acid and tannins? Perhaps it's best to sit on this for a while.
One of 4 bottles Pinots at the table and completely overshadowed by a '17 Occidental Running Fence Vineyard, so my reaction may be a bit harsh.
