Tasting notes
Compelling aromas of bright red fruit, spices, wild blackberries and blueberries and freshly turned soil. This is a really pretty, medium-bodied wine with flavors of fresh raspberries and dried cherries. Some delicate minerality and rose petals on the palate as well. Drink or hold.

Matured in 23% new French oak, the 2023 Pinot Noir Estate has open-knit aromas of wild berries, orange peel, forest floor and flint. The medium-bodied palate is concentrated and nuanced with fine, chalky tannins, bright acidity and a long, spicy finish.
The 2023 Pinot Noir Lingua Franca Estate is expressive with a layered perfume of dark stones, savory, salty earth, lavender, black raspberries, and leather. It offers medium to full-bodied richness, with lovely umami undertones that will become more pronounced over time. The finish is marked by its more lavender-noted perfume, which lingers through the back palate. This requires some patience and will only improve with another few years in the cellar. Drink over the next 12-15 years.
