Lingua Franca makes Wine & Spirits Top 100 List
We’re pleased to announce Lingua Franca’s well-earned place on Wine & Spirits Top 100 list this year, with Lingua Franca Bunker Hill and Avni Chardonnay making the year’s best Top Chardonnay list. In addition, the winery was also recently featured as one of the Wine Spectator’s Rising Stars in Oregon.
Earlier this month, the winery released the last two wines of the year for wholesale: Hope Well Pinot Noir 2016 and The Plow Pinot Noir 2016.The Plow has already received a 94-point score from Tim Fish of the Wine Spectator.
Hope Well is a Dijon-clone PN667 expression of Mimi Casteel’s vineyard which also produces our Mimi’s Mind Pinots. It is more nuanced and delicate than The Plow, which comes primarily from Elton, the neighboring vineyard, among the oldest in the region.
