LINGUA FRANCA: ART INSIDE & OUTSIDE THE BOTTLE

ART: (n.) the quality, production, or expression according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance

By that definition, Lingua Franca produces art both inside and outside the bottle. Labels showcase original works of art that speak to the paralleled story of the wine represented. The wine, itself, is a work of art with aesthetics of great depth and dimension that are by definition 'of more than ordinary significance'. With a name that speaks to the tradition of universal language, Lingua France is an eloquent expression of Oregon Pinot Noir that exceeds all expectation. Please raise a glass to world class art both inside and outside the bottle.

        Cheers,

2015 AVNI PINOT NOIR

'Avni' translates as 'stone' and is a proper name for this Pinot, aptly speaking to the early onset of minerality on the nose that is also manifested on the medium bodied palate. Grounded in ripe, red cherry and rich raspberry, the structure is beautifully composed.

'"I you are looking to taste a pure example of Eola-Amity Hills terroir, this is it, with the signature style of the AVA poised and preserved."

2015 RYAN'S PLOW PINOT NOIR

From diversity of clones and uniformity of soil, a Pinot Noir of incredible complexity results with aromatics and flavors in perfect alignment. Damson and aged leather notes accent a ripe, red berry profile on the nose that transcends to the palate. Smooth and consistent from start to elongated finish, this is a wine with incredible magnitude.

"I tasted this wine two days after being opened and then three. Entirely impressive even then. This is a wine to both enjoy now and lay down for a number of years, as it is entirely cellar worthy."

2015 avni chardonnay

The concentric nose and palate are centered by a core of depth. Both the rich aromatics and the ripe flavors of the 2015 Avni Chardonnay are nothing short of stunning. With a balanced composition of bright fruit and alluring minerality, the round, full mouthfeel is elevated by lean layers of clean, bright acid.

"I've been searching for exceptional examples of Oregon Chardonnay. I'm happy to report without question that this is certainly one of them."
