Lingua Franca 'The Plow' Pinot Noir 2021 Review
Lingua Franca makes elegant, terroir-driven wines in Oregon's Willamette Valley. The fruit for this particular bottling is sourced from some of the estate's best sites, lending to an incredibly intriguing and complex wine. It’s bright and beautiful on the nose with some cherries and a hint of cinnamon layered under a waft of earthy soil. The palate is extremely balanced with just the right amount of everything. Good acidity supports the palate's fleshy fruit with a lithe tannic edge. An Oregon Pinot to fall in love with.
