Winespectator (95)

Sleek and silky yet keenly structured, with a simmering backbone of mineral-tinged acidity framed by raspberry, cherry, forest floor and savory tea accents that build toward the dynamic finish. Drink now through 2034.

James Suckling (94)

The nose is delicate with a savory edge, offering classical pinot aromas of cherries, dried herbs and forest floor. The palate has focused tannins and acidity, with a medium-bodied mouthfeel, giving notes of blueberry, potpourri and cassia bark. Very refined and pure. Drink or hold.

Owen Bargreen (95)

The tension-filled 2022 Lingua Franca ‘Tongue ’N Cheek’ Pinot Noir is a fantastic bottling that combines clonal selections 943 and 777. Deeply colored in the glass, this offers red rose petals and volcanic earth alongside shades of tangerine zest and guava. The palate is plush and filled with bright minerality and crunchy red fruits. A joy to consume now, watch this evolve over the next fifteen plus years.
