Lingua Franca 'Avni' Pinot Noir 2015 Review
Under the helm of noted Master Sommelier Larry Stone along with Burgundy master Dominique Lafon, this Pinot Noir is so fine-tuned. The nose is soft and succulent, with notes of dark black cherry, blueberry, violet, vanilla candle, and cotton candy, heightened by a prickly palate, with tart, spicy cherry flavors and a touch of high-toned herbs.
