Lingua Franca Avni Pinot Noir 2016
Willamette Valley, Oregon, United StatesAVNI Pinot Noir is crafted to reflect the complex flavor profile of Oregon’s volcanic soils, in this case 40 percent estate fruit, twelve percent highland Dundee soils and nearby neighbors. The hallmark of Lingua Franca is elegance and this sleek, cool, focused, red fruited pinot is all that and more. Look for raspberry, cran-cherry raspberry, plums and mineral with twist of citrus. It’s the simplicity and purity that attracts and of course, sings Oregon. The ageing is done in mostly barriques - 80/20 old and new.Tasted: 31 October 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $69.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
