  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.

  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.

  A beautiful Pinot! Lovely red fruit and an old vine finish that makes this so good! Decanted for several hours which helped.

  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.
