Lingua Franca Tongue 'N Cheek Pinot Noir 2021 is a dynamic, sleekly layered Oregon red crafted from 100% de-stemmed fruit sourced from organic and biodynamic sites in the Eola-Amity Hills. It opens with expressive aromas of wild strawberries, raspberry preserves, dried flowers, and tea leaves accenting a core of stony minerality and forest floor. The palate is medium-bodied, velvety, and tension-filled, delivering a focused core of dark cherry, orange peel, and mild spice framed by mouthwatering natural acidity and silky, fine-grained tannins that lead to a long, mineral-driven finish.
Food Pairing: Pairs excellently with roasted duck breast, pigeon with bacon, grilled pork chops, wild mushroom risotto, or roasted herb-crusted salmon.
95 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Initial flinty tones on the nose of the 2021 Pinot Noir Tongue 'N Cheek give way to strawberry and raspberry preserves, aniseed and rooibos tea. The palate is bursting with generous, crunchy red fruit flavors. It’s structured by velvety tannins and mouthwatering acidity and has a long, latent finish. Powerful yet pretty, it unfurls dramatically with air and will benefit from 3-5+ years in the cellar.
94 Points - Wine Spectator
Dynamic and sleekly layered, with handsomely detailed flavors of cherry and guava accented by stony minerality, black tea and forest floor tones as this builds tension and richness toward refined tannins. Drink now through 2031.
